UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO

President's Report

FOR THE YEAR ENDING
30th JUNE, 1932

CS3K3K)

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

1931-1932

To the Governors of the University of Toronto:
( rENTLEMEN:

I beg to submit the following report on the academic work of the University
and University College during the twelve months ended June 30, 1932.

The total staff of the University and University College numbered 826, of
whom 105 were professors, 76 associate professors, 63 assistant professors, 206
lecturers, associates (in medicine and dentistry) and instructors in the College
pi Kducation, 2 directors, 1 director of field work, 373 demonstrators, fellows and
instructors with sessional appointments.

The total number of students in attendance was 8088, of whom 5099 were
men and 2989 were women, 7653 being registered in the colleges and faculties,
and 435 in the departments. The number of students proceeding to degrees
was 6399, and to diplomas 801.

It is with regret that I record the deaths of several members of the staff,
retired and on active service: Dr. James Brebner, a name that will long be
honoured in the University ; Dr. J. A. Craig, a scholar who retired some years ago ;
W. S. Guest, assistant professor of electrical engineering, who was sympathetically
remembered by his colleagues during several years of impaired health; and
Dr. J. W. Macmillan, of the staff of Social Science, and professor in Victoria
College, whose useful life in the height of its power was suddenly cut off, to the
sorrow of his associates in the University.

The following resigned their positions:

John Cunningham McLennan, Ph.D., D.Sc, LL.D., professor of physics
and dean of the School of Graduate Studies; Walter Earl Willmott, D.D.S.,
associate professor of prosthetic dentistry; Barker Fairley, M.A., Ph.D., professor
of German.

The resignation of Dr. J. C. McLennan, occasioning as it does widespread
regret, has closed an active career closely connected with the University of much
significance. From the days when he was a young graduate he has always been
a loyal son devoted to the service of his alma mater. As professor he built up
a great department of physics in which by his persistent and successful research
he won for himself world-wide recognition as a physicist; latterly as dean of the
Graduate School he threw himself con amore into its development. Fortunately
it is expected that each year he will be able to return to Toronto to deliver a
short course of lectures, and it is hoped that he will continue to enrich the field
of physics by his researches.

Dr. W. E. Willmott, of the Faculty of Dentistry, has won, during the few
years in which it has been a part of the University, the respect of his associates
for his helpful and kindly spirit.

At the close of the session Professor Barker Fairley resigned his chair of
German in University College, after a service of seventeen years, to accept the
professorship of German in Manchester University. The departure of this fine
scholar and teacher is a severe loss to the departments of modern languages,
and a cause of deep regret to his colleagues.

The following retired:

Alexander Primrose, C.B., M.B., CM. (Edin.), LL.D., dean of the Faculty
of Medicine; Frederick Tracy, B.A., Ph.D., LL.D., professor of ethics.

2 University of Toronto

The retirement on December 30th, 1931, of Dr. Primrose from the deanship
of the Faculty of Medicine, brought to its conclusion an active career of forty-four
years in that faculty. Clear and skilful as a teacher of anatomy, judicious as a
professor of surgery, wise and considerate as a dean, Dr. Primrose carries with
him the warm regard of a united faculty and the thorough respect of his colleagues
on the university staff.

Professor F. Tracy, who, having reached the age limit, retired from the chair
of ethics in University College, served the University for forty years, first in the
department of philosophy and later in that of ethics. A clear teacher, a man
of the highest character and reliable judgment, he has won the regard of genera-
tions of students and professors, and of a wide constituency through his publica-
tions.

Leave of absence was granted to the following:

St. Elme de Champ, B.es L. (Lyons); associate professor of French; Walter
Scott Guest, B.A.Sc, assistant professor of electrical engineering, on account
of ill-health; John Davidson Ketchum, M.A., lecturer in psychology, for the

The prevailing depression has left its mark upon the life of the University,
but in this respect it has only been sharing an experience similar to that of
educational institutions in all countries. It is to be hoped that there will be no
real retrogression in this period of contrary winds, and that anchors will be thrown
out so that ground may not be permanently lost, and that, in the coming recovery
in our national affairs, the University will be so placed as to occupy more com-
pletely its opportunity for leadership in the intellectual life of this country.
The strategic position of the University of Toronto is obvious, its financial
outlook, supported as it is by this rich province, is assured, and its constituency
unsurpassed.

Though the attendance was larger than ever before, very many under-
graduates found the greatest difficulty in struggling through to the end under
a burden far heavier than in former years, because the opportunities of employ-
ment in the preceding summer had been fewer, and their families were often
less able to lend aid. In the case, however, of some whose home was in the city
the very fact of unemployment may have been the cause of their attendance
at the University. Not a few who would otherwise have had to abandon their
year were helped through by members of the university staff, an evidence of the
real sympathy that so often exists between teacher and student. I must also
express my admiration for the spirit in which the staff has accepted the temporary
reduction in Salary, and for the willing way in which members have, where it
has been necessary, undertaken extra duties at a time when the work of the
University was heavier than in normal years.

4 University of Toronto

This year was the first in which the University put into effect the require-
ment of honour matriculation for entrance into arts. It resulted, naturally,
in a diminution of numbers, though not so large as was expected; but the results
have so far justified our hopes that the quality of work done in the first year
would be improved. The failures in the first year were only 19.4 per cent.,
while those of students in the second year of the former course, who were doing
the same work but had entered on the lower basis, were 31.5 per cent. If this
is maintained it will mean that the quality of the pass degree at the end of the
three years will be better than that of the former degree at the end of four years.

It seems probable that the limit has been almost reached of the length of
time that can be devoted to the attainment of undergraduate, professional and
postgraduate degrees. Such improvements as may be made in their character
will consist in re-arrangements of subjects and possibly in changes as to some
teaching methods. I do not look for any great advance in higher education by
any material change within the University. But for some years I have been
of the opinion that its quality would be improved, and possibly the professional
and postgraduate periods shortened, if the University were to receive a more
fully developed student than it does now. Education even in the professional
faculties depends upon the selection and quality, not the amount, of information
in each field. And a student whose mind at the age of nineteen, has been matured
by thorough teaching in language, literature, history and science, will go much
faster and further than the average student who enters the University on our
present standards. It seems to me, therefore, that the next educational advance
should come in the schools, so that by earlier selective and intensive methods,
those boys and girls who are hoping to attend the University would be able to
accomplish a grade of work and acquire a mental habit, which, at the same age
as that of the present average entrant, would ensure them better final results
in a shorter time. I have, therefore, read with satisfaction an announcement
by the Prime Minister to the effect that the Government is considering the
establishment of a new type of school for the ages between twelve and fourteen,
in which presumably a differentiation would be made leading to the accomplish-
ment of some such result as I have outlined. The devolution on well equipped
Collegiate Institutes of more advanced work would react favourably also on the
teaching profession, by appealing to its ambition, and attracting to it a larger
number of the most highly trained arts graduates.

Principal M. W. Wallace refers to the action taken by the Governors in
raising fees in Arts. Unfortunately, owing to present financial difficulties, they
found it necessary to take this step, though at the same time they are making
provision to give some relief in the case of persons upon whom the increase will
bear with distress. Even with this increase our fees are among the lowest in
Arts in the Dominion, and most other institutions have been compelled to do like-
wise. The intellectual and social condition of the College is healthy, though at
the close of the session it has lost two of its esteemed professors, Dr. Tracy and
Dr. Barker Fairley.

Dr. J. G. FitzGerald, who on January 1, 1932, succeeded Dr. Primrose as
dean of the Faculty of Medicine, will maintain and increase the best traditions
of the Faculty. In order that the duties of his new office should not interfere
seriously with his work as director of the School of Hygiene, which he created
and has promoted with originality and success, Dr. E. Stanley Ryerson has been
appointed assistant dean. His efficiency and his experience have been tested
for several years, and the combined direction of the dean and assistant dean
will redound to the advantage of the Faculty.

The question of the limitation of the number of those who may be permitted
to enter this Faculty has received much serious attention during the session.
It is an old one, and hitherto a final answer has not been given to it. The
difficulty has been met in the past by raising the standards, but as they are now
the same as those for an honour science course in Arts, and numbers are again

President's Report 5

increasing rapidly, while our clinical facilities are at a standstill, the problem
arises again in an acute form. Limitation of some kind seems inevitable.
Already five medical colleges in Canada have fixed a quota. In the dean's
report the urgency of the problem and a method of solving it are set forth.

The most important development in the Faculty has been the creation of a
division of Neuropathology in the department of pathology under Dr. Klotz.
Dr. Linell has been appointed professor of neuropathology. The departments
of medicine, surgery and psychiatry are co-operating to the full, and with the
hearty support of the Department of Public Health it is believed that results of
great importance will soon be manifest.

In the Faculty of Applied Science the attendance has been the largest in
its history and pressure on space has become very serious. ■ A careful report on
urgent and imminent requirements made by a special committee of the staff
has been presented to the Governors. The extension of the building for mining
and ore dressing has both relieved pressure in that department and given a great
impetus to its work.

From the College of Education also comes word of an increase, almost too
great, in attendance, which is in part the result of the present difficult conditions
in regard to employment. This should mean that during the next quinquennium
not only will there be no dearth of teachers, but that the schools will be served
by a higher quality. New avenues of work are opening out before the College,
and educational research is being conducted into the methods of teaching school
children a language other than their vernacular.

When, twenty-four years ago, the sod was turned by Mrs. Lillian Massey
Treble for the erection of the sumptuous Household Science building, the generous
plans, which she had carried out, were expected to suffice for at least a generation;
but the hopes of those who inaugurated this new field of higher education for
women have been far outrun, and the class-rooms and laboratories have become
congested. Students have for years been coming from all parts of Canada and
beyond, but of late many more young women from this province have been
taking up a life work for the provision of which this University was among the
pioneers.

The School of Graduate Studies has continued to grow rapidly both in
numbers and in the variety of the branches of study, and it has become one of the
major departments of the University. It continues to draw many from other
universities. Of the 675 students registered last year, only 368 took their first
degree in the University of Toronto, the rest coming from 60 different institutions.
In this School a deep felt intellectual need in .Canada is being provided for,
and it would be a serious set back to our higher culture were its progress to be
crippled by inadequate facilities in library and laboratories or by an insufficient
staff.

In the Faculty of Dentistry there has been organised, through the support
of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and the voluntary service of a
number of graduates of the faculty, the Johnston Dental Clinic for the Blind,
in which hundreds of those who are handicapped by the impairment or loss of
sight have received treatment.

The work of the Extension Department has expanded rapidly in recent
years; and by experience the director has been discovering what may and what
may not be properly undertaken in the way of instruction or education by a
university, as well as new fields that emerge from time to time. This year that
of broadcasting has been entered, and it promises to be most fruitful. A series
of forty radio talks on scientific, literary and historical subjects was given by
university professors during a period of eight weeks, and these talks were received
with much favour by the public. Other Canadian universities have made use
of this most recent means of disseminating knowledge, and there is good reason
for hoping that, as a result of the gratifying radio policy of the Federal Govern-
ment, it will soon become a very important agency in university extension work.

6 University of Toronto

In Social Science the numbers have increased almost beyond the capacity
of the staff to give the needed instruction and oversight, and since the demand
for employment is greater than the salaried positions available, it has been
decided to limit the number for next year to eighty.

The Department of Public Health Nursing seems to be on the way to realising
much more fully than hitherto its hopes and aims for dealing with many of the
problems of nursing education, which of late have become much more urgent.

We are extremely fortunate in the character of our Health Services both
for men and women, and as usual I report that the health of the undergraduates
has been good. Their athletic activities also are in a sound condition. While
there has not been of late anything spectacular, the University stood well last
year in inter-collegiate sport. It is a matter for much satisfaction that such
sane influences have for years prevailed in athletics. They have been directed
by men of the finest character, and graduates have co-operated with under-
graduates in keeping their standards high. In spite of continued handicaps the
athletics of the women students have contributed to their general healthfulness.

During the session the Royal Ontario Museums have been receiving as usual
many valuable accessions, but the work of the staff has been extremely heavy
because of the transfer into the new galleries and the renovation of the old.
When this is complete the public will be able to realise what magnificent collec-
tions exist in this community, and the new structure will be worthy of what it
contains.

A factor in my regret on leaving the University has been my inability to
effect the establishment of departments of geography and of the fine arts, includ-
ing larger provision for the study of music by undergraduates. From the
Governors I have always had sympathetic support for such developments.
Geography, it is true, has for years been partially provided for in geology and
economics, but there is need of an independent department in which it will
become in its wider phases a more comprehensive subject for study and investiga-
tion, and this requires well appointed quarters and a geographer of special
training. In the Museum of Archaeology the University possesses invaluable
resources available for the development of a School of the Fine Arts, but this
discipline also needs for successful results, in addition to space and equipment,
teachers with an unusual combination of gifts. I hope that it will not be long
until, probably with private support, both the fine arts, technically so-called,
and music will hold a more adequate place in the University than they do at
present. Of course we have in the Conservatory of Music an institution of which
we may well be proud, and on our faculty of music musicians of world-wide
reputation, but the influences that flow from that centre do not directly reach
the undergraduate, except through the special musical recitals which have in
recent years been generously arranged by Dr. MacMillan. Indirectly, however,
through the efforts of the Warden of Hart House the goodwill of the leading
musicians and other artists of the city has been enlisted to make it a powerful
source for disseminating taste for the fine arts among the men students of the
University. To these artists, who have voluntarily given of their best towards
developing these phases of culture among the undergraduates, the University
is under a deep debt of gratitude.

It is an especial pleasure that before the close of the academic year the new
Botanical building, so patiently hoped for and so splendidly realised, was formally
opened in the presence of a distinguished gathering including a number of
eminent botanists from Britain, the United States and Canada. Dr. Seward,
professor of botany in Cambridge, and a former Vice-chancellor, delivered a
lecture and took part in scientific conferences on that occasion. The building,
so adequately equipped, affords special opportunities for the staff to take a
forward step in botanical science.

Extensions to the Hygiene building, to be completed in the autumn, have
been made during the year. The larger portion of these has been made possible

President's Report 7

through the application to this purpose of the surplus earnings of the Connaught
Laboratories. Another magnificent grant from the Rockefeller Foundation
bringing the total of their endowment of the School of Hygiene to $850,000,
and an additional annual grant from the Government, have made good the loss
in revenue from the application of the surplus to building, so that the work of the
School, already so widely and favourably known, will be largely expanded, to the
benefit of the Province and the Dominion, and to the promotion of preventive
medicine.

Not the least hopeful element in the university situation is the deep interest
that has been taken in it by many who have shown that interest by benefactions
large and small. Though successive legislatures have responded generously to
the requests of the Board of Governors for annual support and for buildings,
the University could not to-day be in such an enviable condition in many respects,
had it not been for the varied and often magnificent gifts that have been made
to it. During the past twenty-five years those received by the Governors have
amounted to over seven million dollars, while the federated universities have also
been recipients of large gifts. Indirectly but none the less really its expansion
has been furthered by the enlargement and equipment of the Toronto General
and other hospitals, and by the great acquisitions of the Royal Ontario Museums.
It is not too much to say that the quality of the education given in the University
has been sensibly influenced by its benefactions.

While this has been most obvious in the Faculty of Medicine, the impulse
from them has been felt in other faculties in a heightened devotion to scholarship
and research. Lesser gifts have led to the promotion of postgraduate study and
the attraction to Toronto of graduates from other Canadian universities.
The most recent splendid benefaction, that of Mrs. D. A. Dunlap, for the pro-
vision of an observatory with a telescope that will rank among the greatest
in the world, will afford an additional stimulus to pure science.

On the social side of the students' life, a most important part of their edu-
cation, the cultural effect of the epoch-making gift of Hart House has been
manifest, and among the women that of such buildings as Whitney Hall and the
residences in the federated universities. On the side of physical training, the
adequate equipment for men, and such inadequate equipment as exists for
women, are both due in the main to private benefaction, or to graduate or
undergraduate effort.

When therefore attention is drawn to the cost of this provincial University
to the people of the Province through their Legislature, a cost, it must be borne
in mind, which is moderate proportionally to that of comparable institutions,
it should also be remembered that the high quality of education which the Uni-
versity offers to the young men and women of Ontario, is in no small measure
due to private benefactions, and besides, that the munificence of these bene-
factions testifies to the respect in which the University is held by the community
at large and by great Foundations in the United States.

This is the place to recall again, as I must, the extremely difficult, in fact
serious, condition that exists in the Library. If its efficiency is crippled and its
use hampered by congestion and lack of facilities, the welfare of the whole
University will suffer. As far as it goes it is a good day to day library, in some
departments indeed excellent, possessing, for example, "the largest collection
of scientific and scholarly serials in Canada"; but, though its resources are used
economically and effectively, it is the most over-worked organ in the academic
body, and relief for it is among the most urgent necessities in the University.
No reasonable advance can be made in research in most departments nor in post-
graduate study unless the library is enlarged. It is hardly too much to say that
otherwise Toronto's academic reputation will suffer. A benefactor who would
do what is needed to give the Library its proper place would always be remembered
among those who will have strengthened the University most vitally.

The American Psychological Association held a very successful and well
attended meeting at the University of Toronto, September 10-12.

In February a programme was arranged by the staff in German of the
University of Toronto with the co-operation of the Director of Hart House
Theatre to mark the hundredth anniversary of the death of Goethe, as follows:
Two lectures on "Goethe and his Time" by Professor Friedrich von der Leyen
of the University of Cologne; a lecture on "Faust" by Professor C. Lewis; a
lecture on "Goethe's place in the history of science" by Professor G. S. Brett;
a song-recital by Hans Merx of Goethe's lyrics set to music by famous composers;
Goethe's drama "Faust" performed in English at Hart House Theatre during the
week of February 22.

A special convocation was held in April when the honorary degree of Doctor
of Laws was conferred upon Lord Irwin, G.C.S.I., who at the same time inaugu-
rated the Massey Lectureship, taking as his subject "Some Aspects of the Indian
Problem".

The University of Toronto shares in the honour which His Majesty the
King of Italy conferred upon Professor E. Goggio by investing him with the
title of "Cavaliere della Corona d'ltalia". Professor M. A. Buchanan has been
honoured by being elected President of the Modern Language Association of
America. Professor C. T. Currelly has been made a Fellow of the Society of
Antiquaries, a well earned distinction.

On reviewing the University as a whole I feel confidence in saying that
since the War a marked change has been coming over its life. The quality of its
teaching and standards has been rising steadily, and the spirit which is distinctive
of universities of the first order has been intensified. This is shown not merely
in the increasing lists, in my annual reports, of fundamental or applied researches,
and of published articles or works of importance, but in the aims and standards
of undergraduate, professional and postgraduate education which are consciously
pursued by the faculties. This spirit has been strengthened by the annual
additions made to the staff of young men, many of them our own distinguished
graduates, who have had the advantage of advanced study in some of the greatest
universities of the world. It is heightened also by the privilege, availed of by
not a few, of spending their periodic leave of absence for a year, or a portion of it,
abroad, where they refresh their powers by meeting again the leaders of thought
in their own subject. I regard these larger opportunities and the annual con-
ferences at meetings of learned societies as important contributory factors to the
higher life of the university. Similar effects result from the brief visits to
Toronto each session of a large number of scholars and scientists from all parts
of the academic world, who stimulate their colleagues by their intimate
intercourse, not less than they do the university public at large by their lectures.
Toronto is situated so conveniently on the great routes of travel, that the
University is able, at comparatively small expense, to bring visitors from the

10 University of Toronto

leading academic centres of this continent, and often to share with those uni-
versities in the visits of European professors.

In closing my twenty-fifth and final report as president to the Governors
and to the Senate, I wish to express to the teaching and administrative staffs
of the University my deep gratitude for their constant co-operation with and
uniform kindness towards me, and to the Governors and the members of the
Senate my heartiest thanks for the support they have given to me in my endeav-
ours and for their forbearance with me in my shortcomings.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

(1) REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
(Professor M. W. Wallace, M.A., Ph.D.)

I have the honour to submit to you the following report on the activities
of University College during the academic year, 1931-1932:

The past session has been a difficult one for many of our students on account
of the prevailing economic stress. Some of them have been compelled to leave
college, and many have carried on their work in most distressing conditions.
Many more will probably be unable to return to college next year, and under
these circumstances it seems to me most unfortunate that the Governors have
found it necessary to increase the tuition fees. The setting aside of a considerable
proportion of the increased revenue for bursaries will do a great deal, however,
to alleviate the worst cases of distress among our best students. It is a sad
sight to see students of first rate ability compelled to leave college, and to seek
for employment in a world which for the present seems incapable of making
use of their services. Our graduates are many of them finding the greatest
difficulty in securing employment.

Whitney Hall was opened with appropriate celebrations in September last,
and already it is difficult to realise that there was a time when we were able to
carry on the work of the college with only make-shift accommodation for the
women students. In a hundred ways the beautiful new residences have con-
tributed toward their comfort and to the enrichment of their college experience.
They are most appreciative of their opportunities aind proud of their common
home. The Alumnae have continued their interest in the new buildings, and
have voted a large sum of money to purchase books for the residence library.
It is hoped that not only will most of the books required in the various courses
be made easily available to the residents, but that a generous provision will be
made of the works of standard and contemporary authors. The college is once
more under great obligation to the generosity of our Alumnae Association.

The Alexander Lectures were delivered in Hart House Theatre during the
month of February by Sir William Craigie, formerly editor of the Oxford English
Dictionary, and at present professor of English in the University of Chicago.
Professor Craigie gave us a most scholarly and interesting series of four lectures on
The Northern Element in English Literature. The Alexander Lectureship brings
to the University each year a scholar of international reputation, and makes a
very real contribution to the intellectual life of both the staff and the student
body. During next session the lectures will be given by Professor Grierson,
professor of English in the University of Edinburgh on The Life and Work of
Sir Walter Scott.

The German Exchange Fellow on the Gertrud Davis Foundation for next
year will be Miss E. B. Burton, daughter of Professor Burton of the department
of physics. Miss Burton will continue her studies in German and music at the
University of Frankfort. Mr. Werner von Gruenan has spent this year with us
as the German Fellow on the foundation.

Two of the older members of the college staff leave us at the end of the
present session, — Professor F. Tracy, professor of ethics, and Professor Barker
Fairley, associate professor of German. Professor Tracy retires after a life-time
of service in this University and college. His reputation as a great scholar in
his own field is world-wide, and a multitude of students during the last forty
years have come under the influence of his charm and persuasiveness as a teacher.
Professor Fairley joined our staff just seventeen years ago, and leaves us to accept
the chair of German in the University of Manchester. Of his scholarship I need
say nothing beyond the fact, that hjs recent volume on Goethe has been most
generously reviewed in all the scholarly periodicals, and generally recognised

President's Report 13

as the most significant contribution to Goethe literature in this centenary year.
Through his interest in painting, and in literature in the broadest sense of the
word, Professor Fairley was in close touch with all the foremost Canadian
representatives of the arts and of letters. His colleagues greatly deplore his
derision to leave University College.

From many books and articles published during the year by members of the
staff, I would mention especially Professor Gilbert Norwood's History of Greek
Comedy, and a volume of Studies in English by various members of the English
staff, both of which have been very well received by scholarly critics.

A course of public lectures was given by members of the staff in the West Hall
for several weeks during the winter.

I have to record the sudden and untimely death of Professor Grant Brown,
who resigned his chair in ancient history three years ago.

(2) REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE

(/. G. FitzGerald, M.D.)

With the completion of the present session the term of office of Sir Robert
Falconer as President of the University expires. During the past twenty-five
years the Faculty of Medicine as a whole and its many individual members have
enjoyed the very great privilege of his wise guidance, counsel and support.
At this time it is with the deepest appreciation that acknowledgement of this
is here recorded. The President-Elect, Doctor H. J. Cody, has had for many
years, as Chairman of the Board of Governors, a deep interest in and sympathetic
understanding of the responsibilities and problems of the Faculty of Medicine
in the spheres of research, teaching and community service. This Faculty,
therefore, looks forward with confidence to the future feeling assured that under
the prospective administration continued encouragement and support will be
accorded recommendations which have as their sole purpose the public good.

After a period of service extending over more than forty years Doctor
Alexander Primrose retired as dean of the faculty of medicine on December 31,
1931. At the same time he gave up his professorship in clinical surgery. The
sentiments of his colleagues upon the occasion of Doctor Primrose's withdrawal
were expressed in the following resolution unanimously adopted by the Council
of the Faculty of Medicine: "That upon the occasion of the retirement of Pro-
fessor Alexander Primrose from the office of dean of the faculty of medicine and
from his professorship in clinical surgery, we his colleagues and associates in the
faculty of medicine wish at this time to indicate and record our warm affection
for him personally, our appreciation of the services which he has for so many
years rendered the University and this faculty especially, and our regret that
the time for his withdrawal from active participation in the work of the faculty
has arrived."

Dr. J. G. FitzGerald, professor of hygiene and preventive medicine and
director of the School of Hygiene and the Connaught Laboratories, was appointed,
by the Governors, dean for a period of three years. Dr. E. Stanley Ryerson
who since 1908 has splendidly served first as assistant secretary and then as
secretary was appointed assistant dean and continues as secretary of the faculty
also. These appointments became effective January first, 1932.

Dr. J. T. Fotheringham who has occupied the chair of the history of medicine
with distinction, retired at the close of the session. In many capacities Dr.
Fotheringham has given unstinted devotion to the welfare of this University
and his colleagues will miss his wise and helpful counsel.

It is with deep regret that the deaths of Dr. J. Algernon Temple, professor
emeritus of obstetrics and gynaecology and Dr. Leonard M. Murray, a former
member of the department of medicine are here recorded. To an earlier genera-

14 University of Toronto

tion of students and graduates Dr. Temple's capacity as a teacher was often
made manifest and a large circle of friends and admirers mourn his passing.
The death of Dr. Murray, a splendid teacher and most lovable man, has occa-
sioned poignant sorrow to a wide circle of friends. The death of Dr. E. St. G.
Baldwin, the last of Lister's former house officers resident in this community,
must this year be chronicled. A scholarly physician, he possessed those fine
characteristics of the great Edinburgh school of which he was a distinguished
graduate. His passing still further reduces the ranks of those who assisted in the
dissemination of the gospel of asepsis.

In addition to the resignations of Dr. A. Primrose and Dr. J. T. Fotheringham
the faculty of medicine has lost the services of Dr. M. H. V. Cameron, assistant
professor of surgery; Dr. G. C. Cameron, associate professor in the department
of medical research and Dr. Ross A. Jamieson, senior demonstrator in the depart-
ment of medicine. Upon the occasion of the resignation of these three members
of the staff who for many years have rendered fine service to the University,
their colleagues expressed their real regret and their sincere appreciation of
the.r loyal co-operation at all times in the conduct of the work of the faculty.

The following appointments and promotions have been made during the
year : —

Professors

History of Medicine Dr. J. H. Elliott

Biochemistry Dr. H. D. Kay

Neuropathology Dr. E. A. Linell

Physiology Dr. Norman B. Taylor

Associate Professor

Hygiene and Preventive Medicine Dr. P. J. Moloney

Assistant Professors

Pathology Major George Shanks

Hygiene and Epidemiology Dr. Neil E. McKinnon

Dr. E. S. Ryerson has been appointed by the Senate as the representative of the
University on the Medical Council of Canada to succeed Dr. A. Primrose,
resigned. Dr. Ryerson has also been appointed a representative of the faculty
upon the Senate.

During the year the following members of the Faculty were appointed to
or continued to serve in the following offices: —

Dr. A. Primrose: — President of the Canadian Medical Association.
Dr. W. E. Gailie: — President of the American Orthopaedic Association.
Dr. E. S. Ryerson: — Chairman, Committee on Education Policies of the
Association of American Medical Colleges. Chairman, Committee on
Medical Education of the Canadian Medical Association.

tion.
Dr. C. H. Best: — Celebration of Medical Progress at the University of
Pennsylvania.

President's Report 15

Report on Council of Faculty

The entrance requirements into the medical course were made the same
as these necessary to enter an honour science course in the faculty of arts, so
that after 1933 students at the secondary schools may defer their final decision
as to whether they wish to take the medical course proper or the combined course
in arts and medicine until after they have successfully completed their honour
matriculation.

Immediately following the war, the number of students in the medical course
became so great that limitation of those entering was considered, but as the
entrance requirements had just been increased to honour matriculation, action
was deferred until the effect of this higher standard of entrance on the number
of students had been observed. In the last two years, the number entering the
medical course again increased so that the faculty council considered steps should
be taken to limit the number in the course. A very thorough investigation was
made into this question, the various aspects of it being carefully studied.

Limitation of the number of students admitted into medicine is carried out
in the majority of the universities in Canada and the United States. It has
become necessary because a far larger number seek admission than the facilities
of institutions can accommodate. The procedure is adopted both in state
supported and privately endowed universities. Medical faculties have realised
that there is an approximate relationship between the laboratory and hospital
facilities of a medical college, the size and qualifications of the teaching staff
and the number of students that can receive an adequate medical education.
The close personal contact between students and members of the teaching staff
in the smaller medical colleges results in an efficiency which is not possible in an
institution where the number of students is excessive. Five of the medical
colleges in Canada and forty-four in the United States have a statement in their
calendars that the number of students is limited.

The supply of graduates in medicine in relation to the needs of the Province
of Ontario and the Dominion as a whole was calculated and the conclusion
reached that a limitation of the number at this university would not in any way
jeopardise the provision of an adequate number of physicians for the province
or the country as a whole.

A study was made of the clinical facilities, the laboratory facilities and the
teaching staff in relation to the number of students, for the purpose of ascertaining
the approximate number that might be accommodated. It was found that in
all the clinical departments a high standard of individual instruction was im-
possible with the present number and the relatively slow turn-over of patients
available for teaching in the hospitals connected with the university. A reduction
of the number of students in each bedside clinic group would be a distinct
advantage to patient, instructor and student. With the present large number
of students in the clinical years, the provision of adequate training is almost
impossible on account of over-taxing the endurance of the patients by repeated
examinations by individual students, as well as by repeated clinics in groups on
the same patient. The present size of the classes prevents the close personal
contact between student and teacher, which is so valuable as a method of
instruction.

In the laboratory departments, the present large classes of students are
out of proportion to the number of competent full-time instructors, making the
provision of adequate instruction very difficult. As at present constituted, the
teaching staffs of these departments have not sufficient instructors of the essen-
tially necessary type to do proper justice to the training of the number of students
enrolled. The laboratory courses which should provide the most important
of the opportunities which the university offers, are already less efficient than
they should be. This condition might be remedied by reducing the number of
students.

16 University of Toronto

From a thorough study of the facts, the faculty of medicine is convinced
that the number of students admitted to the medical course should be limited
to about 80. This, with the addition of about 20 students in arts of the biological
and medical sciences course, and those admitted ad eundem from other provinces
would yield about 100 students in each of the clinical years.

The method of limiting the students to the above numbers was given careful
consideration. Experience has shown that the standing and marks obtained by
students at matriculation do not form a satisfactory standard for the selection
of medical students. A student may stand high at matriculation and fail hope-
lessly in his medical subjects or vice versa. On the other hand there is a very
fair correlation between the marks obtained at the end of the first year of the
medical course and the standing obtained in the remaining years. For this
reason, the proposal has been made that students intending to enter medicine
be enrolled in a pre-medical year in the faculty of medicine and that on the basis
of the examinations at the end of the year, 80 students be accepted for registration
in the medical course. It is further suggested that the number of students in
each of the clinical years be restricted to approximately 100, including the
graduates of the combined course in arts and medicine.

The above recommendations of the Faculty of Medicine await the approval
of the Board of Governors before they can be made effective.

The creation of a division of neuropathology in the department of pathology
and bacteriology is referred to by Professor Klotz in his annual report. Dr. Eric
Linell, formerly of the department of anatomy was appointed to a professorship
in neuropathology and has assumed his duties in this new and important extension
of the work of this faculty. Furthermore, it has been arranged that the work
being carried on by Dr. Kenneth McKenzie in neurosurgery under Professor
Gallie; the developments in neurology conducted by Dr. H. H. Hyland under
Professor Duncan Graham; the activities in neuropathology in relation to
psychiatry for which Dr. Hannah under Professor C. B. Farrar is responsible,
shall all be coordinated by this group in laboratories designated for the purpose
in the Banting Institute. This step has been planned for some time and results
of great theoretical interest and practical importance should emerge therefrom.

A method for conducting a conjoint examination between the University
and the Medical Council of Canada, whereby a student would receive his uni-
versity degree and his licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada, was evolved
and finally approved by the faculty council.

The method provided for the same men being appointed for the oral and
clinical examinations in each of the subjects by the University and Medical
Council, one of the two being a member of the teaching staff and the other an
extra-mural examiner. The written papers would first be examined by men
appointed by the University and those of the candidates who were successful
and received their degree, would then be examined by the main board of examiners
of the Medical Council. Such a procedure as this would overcome the present
necessity of candidates being subjected to two examinations within two or three
weeks of one another and very often by the same examiners. The use of extra-
mural examiners is common practice at universities in the old country and would
require students to obtain a broader knowledge in the subjects of examination,
an effect greatly* to be desired. The details of the proposed method were
approved by the Council of the Canadian Medical Association in Toronto in
June and will be submitted to the Medical Council of Canada for consideration
at their meeting in September.

The change in the representation of universities on the Council of the College
of Physicans and Surgeons of Ontario, which will become effective as the result
of the amendments to the Medical Act passed by the Legislature at its 1932
session, is a logical step in providing for one representative from each of the
universities conducting medical courses and granting degrees. The reduction
in the size of this body from 29 to 15 is also commendable.

President's Report 17

This year t he Ontario Medical Association prize in preventive medicine was
awarded for the first time. The recipient was Dr. Kenneth Brandon of the
sixth year. The University is indebted to the Association for the generous
provision of this prize and the action is highly appreciated by this faculty.

Dr. Primrose, upon his retirement, most generously donated his splendid
library of bound periodicals, monographs, books etc. to the University. These
have been placed in a special library in the Banting Institute. By this action
Dr. Primrose has still further placed this faculty in his debt. His gift is highly
appreciated and thanks are once again tendered herein.

The Balfour Lecture was delivered on Lister Day, April fifth, by Dr. Rudolf
Matas of Tulane University, New Orleans. The title of the lecture was "The
Story of Postoperative Pulmonary Embolism, before and after Lister". A large
and appreciative audience was delighted both by the charming delivery of the
lecturer and the very interesting subject matter of his address.

The Charles Mickle Fellowship "awarded annually to that member of the
medical profession who is considered by the Council of the Faculty of Medicine
to have done most during the preceding ten years to advance sound knowledge
of a practical kind in medical art or science", was this year awarded by the
Senate to Professor G. Ramon of the Pasteur Institute, Paris. The recipient,
(an honorary doctor of science of this university), has made exceedingly impor-
tant contributions to knowledge of infection and immunity in diphtheria. His
most monumental recent contributions have been the development of diphtheria
and tetanus anatoxine; specific prophylactics for diphtheria and tetanus respec-
tively, and his discovery of the flocculation reaction.

(3) REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE

AND ENGINEERING

(C. H. Mitchell, C.B., C.M.G., C.E.)

A most gratifying and successful academic year is to be recorded for the
Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. The session has been quite marked
by diligent work on the part of the students and efficient instructional work on the
part of the staff. The results attained in the examinations have indicated a
further improvement in standards.

The session has been noteworthy in that the number of students registered
is larger than ever before in the history of the faculty. The total number at
the commencement of the session was 881. This is to be compared with previously
recorded large numbers of 850 in 1930-31, 810 in 1920-21, and 770 in 1910-11.
In the present session the attendance numbers have been divided among depart-
ments as follows: — Civil, 129; Mining, 69; Mechanical, 218; Architecture, 45;
Chemical, 186; Electrical, 211; and Metallurgical, 23. In addition to these,
there were 33 postgraduate students enrolled in the various departments of the
faculty, a marked increase over previous years.

During the session a great deal of attention was given to the question of
adequate building accommodation to provide for the growing number of students.
This has been urgently before the faculty for several years, the departments in
which the most acute pressure has prevailed being Mining, Mechanical, and
Chemical.

The plan for enlarging the Mining Mill, which had been discussed for several
years, came to practical construction last year. The enlarged building to
accommodate the mining and ore dressing laboratories was, with its added equip-
ment, taken into use this session and was opened formally by a ceremony under
the direction of the Board of Governors in November. This new building is
now 72 feet x 100 feet and has four storeys and a basement. Its provision was
the outcome of representations of the faculty, the energetic efforts of the depart-
ment and graduates, and especially due to the generosity of the Ontario Govern-

18 University of Toronto

ment through its Department and Minister of Mines, together with the strong co-
operation of the Board of Governors. The department of mining engineering
is now well equipped to efficiently provide for an increased number of students
under the most modern and approved methods in keeping with the progress
of the mining industry of the country.

During the session the Committee on Accommodation, appointed last year
by the Council of the Faculty, has actively continued its work. It made an
extensive study of the accommodation problems and brought in to the Council,
at its March meeting, a most valuable and convincing report, which was adopted
and duly forwarded to the President for the Board of Governors. This report
dealt primarily with the immediate needs of the faculty in respect to the pressing
requirements of the departments of mechanical and chemical engineering and
recommended the construction, as soon as possible, of a new wing to the mechan-
ical building, so arranged that it would join the west end of that building with
the west wing of the mining building. This additional building is designed to
provide not only for the present pressing needs for those departments, but for
their joint requirements for the next eight years, having in view the anticipated
rate of their growth in numbers of students and the necessary advances in the
scope of instruction in these fields. The report also pointed out the extent to
which this building might provide some temporary relief for other crowded
departments.

The report of the Committee on Accommodation, beside recommending the
provision of the additional wing as already described, envisaged the estimated
requirements of the faculty in the further period extending to twenty-five years
hence and in view of these, presented an additional building programme in which
was recommended the future construction of an extensive building at the corner
of St. George and College Streets. This whole report is now under consideration
by the Board of Governors, upon whom was impressed the urgency of the im-
mediate requirements.

The necessity of increased accommodation for the faculty cannot be too
strongly represented. This has been continually and consistently pressed during
the past few years and is again put forward for the earliest attention of the
Board of Governors along the lines above indicated and according to the report
recently submitted.

While there has been no major revision of the curriculum during the session,
small changes have been made for purposes of coordination and adjustment.
The present is the last session in which the four years' course in architecture is
being given; the fifth year, provided for several years ago, comes into effect
during the forthcoming session. There was, consequently, no graduating class
in architecture this year.

Newly established prizes from the following donors were awarded during
this session for the first time: — The Engineering Institute of Canada; "The
Canadian Engineer"; The Canadian National Clay Products Association (Ceram-
ics Scholarship) ; and the Ontario Chapter of the American Society of Heating
and Ventilating Engineers. These are gratefully acknowledged.

The Engineering Society, the students' organisation constituting an integral
part of the faculty and its affairs, will mark this session as noteworthy in con-
nection with its business and finances. Early in the session, the Faculty Council's
Committee on Engineering Society Affairs had various meetings and some
negotiation with the Society, mainly with respect to its financial situation and
the conduct of its business. The Society's finances were found to be in a very
satisfactory state, showing a considerable reserve. The Committee reported
to the Council in December that the Society had, through the President of the
University, offered to return to the Board of Governors the aggregate of the
latter's annual grants to it for the past seventeen years, together with compound
interest, the whole sum amounting to $3,800. Subsequently the Board advised
the Society that it did not wish to retain this sum, but desired the Society to

President's Report 19

employ it for some useful purpose on behalf of the students of the faculty. The
Society later reported to the Council that it had, with this money, established
a students' loan fund under administrative arrangements approved by the
Board. This fund is already in operation, and is proving most acceptable to
needy and worthy students, especially during these difficult times.

The prevalent depression in the country is now having a noticeable effect
on employment of graduates. Last summer, last year's graduating class had
been absorbed at one time to the extent of nearly 90%, but this proportion has
by now been much reduced. The apparent prospects for employment of this
year's graduating class are not so encouraging, the latest reports indicating
absorption of about 50% of the graduating class. This situation also affects
the present student body to a very considerable extent, as well as those depart-
ments of this faculty which require shop work from the undergraduates in the
vacation periods.

In the work of research, in which practically every department of this faculty
is engaged, there was somewhat less activity throughout the session than is
customary; this was due mainly to the pressure of the regular academic work
and the difficulties arising from the large number of students taking instruction.
In the spring, however, after conclusion of examinations, many members of the
staff have been able to resume their research activities. The Committee of
Management of the School of Engineering Research reports that many important
researches which had not been concluded last year are being continued this
session; a number of new researches have also been undertaken. It is gratifying
to report that the year's work has been very creditable in regard to the excellence
and practical usefulness of researches done by the members of the staff in the
faculty. A detailed report of these researches, thirty-three in number, is sub-
mitted herewith. Bulletin No. 9 of the School of Engineering Research, contain-
ing thirteen papers, is now in press and will shortly be issued.

It is with much regret that we have to record, this session, the very sad
accident which occurred on the 15th of February in one of the laboratories of the
department of chemical engineering. The fatal result in the death of a very
promising student, V. A. Wood, of the fourth year, impresses it as the most serious
accident in the history of the faculty in a period of fifty-five years. There have
been minor accidents from time to time and experiences of these have caused the
utmost care to be taken in laboratory work. The verdict of the Coroner's jury
in this case clearly indicated that no blame could be attached to any member
of the staff, and it was shown that the student had performed the experiment on
his own responsibility, contrary to instructions, in a scientific enthusiasm. It is
gratifying, however, to record that the two students who were injured, both in
the fourth year, were sufficiently recovered to proceed with and finish their year's
work and write on their examinations, both with marked success.

It is with profound regret that we record the recent death, after a long
illness, of Assistant Professor W. S. Guest, who had been a member of the staff
in electrical engineering for nearly twenty-three years.

The faculty and staff have, during the session, greatly missed the presence
and cooperation of Professor L. B. Stewart, who, after forty years of most valuable
work in the University, retired at the end of last session. As secretary of the
faculty in the early days, as head of the department of surveying for many years;
and as a most valuable participant in the mapping of Canada, he has made a
worthy record for himself and for the University.

(4) REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE ONTARIO COLLEGE OF

EDUCATION

{Dr. Wm. Pakenham)

The increase in the registered attendance in the Ontario College of Education
continues. In 1930-1 the Library School enrolled 27; in 1931-2, 42. In 1930-1

20 University of Toronto

the High School Assistants' course enrolled 380; in 1931-2, 475. An examination
of the registration in the High School Assistants' course reveals increases in the
average age of the students, in the number of male students, and in particular
in the number of male students who have been engaged in other occupations
since graduation. Increase in attendance is not an unmixed blessing. It
accentuates the need of additional instructors in the College of Education.
Despite the rapid expansion of Ontario's secondary schools and in particular the
vocational schools, it gives reason to fear that many certificated secondary school
teachers will be unable to find teaching posts in 1932-3.

The colleges of to-day are varied in purposes, courses and degrees. Almost
as varied in types and courses are the secondary schools. It is to be expected
that other degrees than the bachelor's degree in arts will be accepted as the
qualifications of secondary school teachers. This will force the staff of the
College of Education to stress the proficiency of teachers-in-training in the courses
of the secondary schools. Similarly the increase in the number and types of the
specialists' certificates for secondary school teachers will probably impose a new
duty upon the College of Education — the duty of reviewing, testing, and standard-
ising the proficiency of specialists in the secondary school courses represented
in their specialists' certificates. A beginning is to be made next session in the
December qualifying examinations for specialists.

The registration in the graduate courses in pedagogy also increases. This
session the University conferred 54 B.Paed., and 4 D.Paed. degrees. But the
requests of teachers for these graduate courses in centres outside Toronto are
now too numerous for the staff and will not be granted next session.

The department of educational research has been very busy with the prepara-
tion of standardised tests for Canadian schools. J. A. Long, Ph.D. (Col.), an
Ontario teacher, has been appointed by the Board of Governors to assist Dr.
Sandiford in the department. At the close of the session, the Carnegie Corpora-
tion supplemented its original grant to the department by a grant for a special
study of the method of teaching school children a language other than the
vernacular.

(5) REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE FACULTY OF HOUSEHOLD

SCIENCE

{Dr. C. C. Benson)

The capacity of the Household Science Building and the working power
of the staff in the faculty have been taxed to the limit during this last session.
The total registration in the faculty of household science for 1931-1932 has been
179 students with 7 in the first year, 41 in the second, 57 in the third and 69 in
the fourth. The remaining 5 were registered as occasional students. While we
have actually had 50 fewer students registered with us this year, than last, the
decrease has been in the earlier years, when much of the student's time is spent
on allied university subjects.

There has been an increase in registration in the higher years, with 28 more
students in the fourth year than there were in the session of 1930-1931. The
students of fourth and third years are engaged chiefly with the special work done
in the household science building and it has consequently been very crowded.

The household science laboratories were originally planned to provide for
200 students. This year they have been used by more than 300, as there has
also been a large registration in arts for household science classes.

The food chemistry laboratories, likewise, were planned to accommodate
about 150 students. It has been necessary to provide for more than 250 this
session.

President's Report 21

It has only been possible to look after such large numbers by concentration
of classes, taking one subject for double time in one term and another subject
in the same way for the second. The class rooms have thus been so continuously
in use that it lias been very difficult to keep them in order and to prevent serious
deterioration of our plant and equipment.

The increase in registration in the higher years is largely due to students
coming here from other colleges and universities for special household science
training. In the fourth year, there were registered a group of 14 students who
have completed degree work here, after obtaining their diplomas at Guelph.
The pass course in our faculty thus seems to be making provision for these
students, as it was hoped it would do.

The small registration in the first year shows the effect of changes in the
standard of entrance. With the withdrawal of honour Latin from matriculation
for arts, it seems likely that students who might have come into this faculty will
now register in the household economics course in the faculty of arts, where they
can have certain college privileges which are not available to students in this
faculty. The increased requirements have undoubtedly lessened our numbers,
but we feel that the work accomplished should be of better grade.

It seems probable, also, that the course which came into existence this
session will make satisfactory provision for students who wi'sh to qualify as
teachers. Graduates of the pass course in this faculty, who propose to specialise
as teachers of household science must now take a year of additional work as
occasional students, taking courses which are available to complete the require-
ments. Five of the pass graduates have been working in this way this session.
With the new arrangement of classes in this faculty, such students can modify
the work of the third year (in which it would be possible to graduate) and com-
plete the requirements for the specialist certificate in a fourth year, with studies
which will follow in more logical order.

The present time with its economic difficulties is providing less opportunities
for work, but several of the graduates of this year have already found occupation.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

(6) REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF FORESTRY

{Dr. C. D. Howe)

Owing to the continuance of the business depression, forestry activities
throughout the Dominion are practically at a standstill. Contraction has taken
place in both governmental and private organisations and many foresters are
without employment. Appropriations for stock-taking surveys, reforestation
and research have been greatly curtailed or completely suspended. About the
only effort consists in keeping alive the forest protection services, but even these
have suffered curtailments. The latter is a very poor form of economy as the
results during fire hazard season will undoubtedly prove.

In spite of the flatness of the market for the employment of our graduates
and undergraduates, we are not discouraged. We know that forestry and the
conservation of our timber resources are fundamental to the industrial develop-
ment of the country and we are certain that their activities will be resumed
when the cloud of depression is lifted.

The number of students in the faculty is the largest of any time and from
a pedagogical standpoint we have had a very successful year. Our curriculum
is in process of revision with the object of giving the students more practical
experience, especially in woods work. We have introduced a short course of
lectures by successful woods operators. During the present year such courses
have been given by Mr. Ellwood Wilson, late of the old Laurentide Company,
Grand'mere, Quebec, and by Mr. Robert W. Lyons, Manager of the Woods

22 University of Toronto

Department, Spruce Falls Power & Paper Company, Kapuskasing, Ontario.
Mr. Lyons was graduated from our faculty in 1916.

There is not much to report concerning the investigative work carried on
by the members of the staff. Professor Dwight has completed one phase of his
work on the growth and yield of pulpwood forests, but on account of the financial
conditions neither he nor Mr. Hosie will be employed by the provincial govern-
ment this summer. Professor J. H. White is spending the summer in the Scandin-
avian countries where he is making a study of certain silvicultural problems.

(7) REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF MUSIC

(Dr. E. C. MacMillan)

During the session 1931-32, the number of students registered was 39. In
the course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music, 12 registered in the first
year, 10 in the second year and 17 in the third year.

The following lectures were given by members of the faculty of music:

Ernest MacMillan, Esq., B.A., Mus.Doc:

January 4- — "The construction of basses" (First and Second Years).
January 11 — "The technique of the English madrigal" (All Years).
January 18 — "Part-writing for strings" (Second and Third Years).
January 25 — "Bach's chorale preludes" (All Years).
February 1 — "Elements of modulation" (First and Second Years).
February 15 — "Instrumental figuration" (Second Year).

H. A. Fricker, Esq., M.A., Mus.Doc:
For Students of All Years —

January 8 — "The anthem."

January 15 — "The English ayre."

January 22 — "The orchestration of J. S. Bach."

January 29 — "Vaughan Williams."

L. Smith, Esq., Mus.Bac:

February 5 — -"Analysis" (Second Year).

February 8 — "Romanticism" (All Years).

February 12 — "Analysis" (Second Year).

February 19 — "Unfigured basses" (Second Year).

February 22 — "Programme music" (Second and Third Years).

February 26 — "Canon" (Second Year).

The organ recitals in Convocation Hall this season numbered four, after
which they were discontinued owing to lack of financial support. Musical
performances in Convocation Hall included ''The Messiah", on January 13th,
Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" (the seventh annual performance) on March 22nd,
and a special series of recitals for students by the Hart House Quartet. As in
former years, the student attendance at these functions has been most gratifying.
The Conservatory Orchestra, under Mr. Donald Heins, gave a successful concert
in Convocation Hall on March 10th, and played a conspicuous part in the
annual closing concert on May 3rd in Massey Hall. The Conservatory Choir,
in addition to its other activities, co-operated with the Toronto Symphony
Orchestra on March 8th, in producing for the first time in Canada, Vaughan
Williams' "Benedicite". An admirable series of concerts by the Conservatory
String Quartet has been well attended.

Mr. J. L. Richardson is continuing his Sunday afternoon carillon recitals
from the Memorial Tower during the summer months, giving great enjoyment to
the many who find themselves in the neighborhood of the university grounds.

The Music Committee of Hart House has once again proved itself a valuable
factor in the musical life of the University as a whole. A debt of gratitude is
due to the musicians who have generously given their services in connection
with the Sunday evening and Friday afternoon concerts.

President's Report 23

The number of candidates entering for the examinations of the Toronto
Conservatory of Music for the present season has been 17,262 as compared with
19,898 for the season 1930-31. Entries for the year were distributed as follows:
Piano, 9,458; Violin, 506; Singing, 397; Sight-Singing, 39; Organ, 35; Viola, 2;
Violoncello, 3; Elocution, 32; Theory (Rudiments, History, Harmony, Counter-
point. Form) 6,790.

The retirement from office of Sir Robert Falconer will be felt as a personal
loss by all members of the Faculty of Music; his judgment and kindly interest
in connection with the problems of the Faculty have always been of the greatest
value. We welcome Sir Robert's successor and assure him of our wish to co-
operate with him in every possible way in the service of the University.

(8) REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES

(9) REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF DENTISTRY

{Dr. Wallace Seccombe)

An outstanding event in the Faculty of Dentistry this year was the organisa-
tion of The Johnston Dental Clinic for the Blind. This clinic is supported by the
Canadian National Institute for the Blind and operates each morning from
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, voluntary service being given by the following graduates
for one morning each week: Drs. P. G. Anderson, Lou Harris, Frank Martin,
K. R. Harris and F. A. Flora. The Johnston Clinic has been of service to
hundreds of blind people and it is hoped that the operations of the clinic will be
materially extended when the final adjustments are made in the estate of the
late Mr. F. W. R. Johnston.

Another interesting development is the establishment, in co-operation with
the Department of Health of the City of Toronto, of a central orthodontia clinic
for school children. One of the members of our staff, Dr. C. A. Corrigan, has
been appointed by the Department of Health for half-time service to take charge
of the clinic which is to be developed as a Preventive Orthodontia Service. This
measure of co-operation with the Toronto Department of Health will add
materially to our clinical facilities in orthodontia.

Graduate work in this faculty has progressed satisfactorily during the
session. We have received twice as many applications for graduate study and
research for the ensuing session as we have in any previous year.

We regret to announce the retirement of Dr. W. E. Willmott, who has been
a member of the faculty for over forty years. He has accepted a whole-time
appointment as Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Royal College of
Dental Surgeons of Ontario. Dr. Willmott's retirement calls to mind the fact
that his father, the late Dean Willmott, was a pioneer in dental education in
Ontario and served the faculty as dean for forty years. While Dr. Willmott is
officially retiring, his duties will keep him in close contact with the dental pro-
fession, and his office, being located in the dental building, makes it possible for
the faculty to continue to have the benefit of his co-operation and experienced
judgment.

We also regret to report the resignation of Dr. F. S. Jarman, who gave
many years of faithful service in this faculty.

Seventeen graduates registered for advanced work, some for part-time and
others for whole-time service, and, of this number three were awarded the degree
of bachelor of science in dentistry.

Twenty-four dental nurses were registered, one of whom withdrew from the
course during the session. Seventeen successfully completed the work of the
year.

Fifty-six extramural lectures and clinics were given before county or local
dental societies in the following centres: during the session: Belleville, Ottawa,

26 University of Toronto

London, Peterboro, Hamilton, Sarnia, Pembroke, Chatham, Owen Sound,
Welland, Guelph, Kingston, Kitchener, Arnprior, Clinton, Renfrew, Orillia,
Wingham, Eganville, Petrolia, Niagara Falls and Windsor, and in Northern
Ontario at Cobalt, Timmins, North Bay, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie and Port
Arthur.

The Western Canada lecture-clinics are being given by Dr. C. H. M.
Williams and include the following centres: Winnipeg, Brandon, Regina,
Weyburn, Moose Jaw, Swift Current, Lethbridge, Calgary, Victoria, Vancouver,
Edmonton, North Battleford, Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Yorkton, Fort Francis.

(10) REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL OF HYGIENE

/. G. FitzGerald, M.D., LL.D.)

The fifth annual report of the work of the School of Hygiene for the year
ending June 30, 1932, is summarised herein.

The extension of the hygiene building to which reference was made in the
report for last year was begun in December, 1931. The work has progressed
to the point where it appears probable that this additional accommodation will
be ready for occupancy in September of the current year. It may be repeated
here that the funds for this extension of the hygiene building are being provided
from the surplus of the Connaught Laboratories Committee. The employment
of a portion of this surplus in this manner has, of course, resulted in a decrease
in the current income upon endowment of the Connaught Laboratories. To
compensate for this a provincial government grant of fourteen thousand, two
hundred and fifty dollars has been made available in the appropriations for the
Department of Health of Ontario. It will be recalled further, that the Rocke-
feller Foundation very generously contributed an additional sum of six hundred
thousand dollars in June, 1931, which was added to the then existing endowment
of the School of Hygiene bringing this up to a total of eight hundred and fifty
thousand dollars and the income of this latest Rockefeller benefaction for the
current year will be utilised, it is expected, in furnishing and equipping labora-
tories in the new wing.

It is anticipated that when the session 1932-33 opens the new teaching
laboratories for hygiene and preventive medicine, epidemiology and biometrics
and physiological hygiene will be available.

The new animal quarters will also be located in this north wing. They have
been so planned that complete separation of small groups of animals will be
possible. Furthermore, as the result of experience, radical change has been
effected in the location of the animal quarters. They have been placed in the
sub-basement where, owing to certain novel features in construction, excellent
light will be available and, in addition, mechanical ventilation and temperature
control will, it is believed, make it possible for animals to be maintained under
relatively constant environmental conditions. The previous animal quarters on
the top floor of the present hygiene building will be converted into quarters for
those responsible for the development, manufacture and maintenance of scientific
equipment and apparatus employed in the research laboratories both of the
School of Hygiene and of the Connaught Laboratories. The present machine
shop is unsatisfactory in respect both of size and location. This difficulty, it is
expected, will be completely overcome with the rearrangement indicated.

It is planned that the department of hygiene and preventive medicine will
occupy rooms on the main floor and semi-basement floor, epidemiology and
biometrics and the section of filtrable viruses of the Connaught Laboratories
the major part of the second floor. A portion of this second floor will, jhowever,
be occupied by the new sub-department of chemistry in relation to hygiene.
The third floor will provide accommodation for the department of physiologicl
hygiene, the staff lunch rooms and the director's quarters as in the past.

President's Report 27

A much needed increase in the space allotted to the Connaught Laboratories
in the basement and sub-basement of the present hygiene building will make it
possible to rearrange the kitchens, cafeteria, and a part of one of the staff lunch
rooms. Additional storage space will be provided and more effective coordination
of Connaught Laboratories' university section operations and activities made
possible.

With the commencement of the academic session 1932-33 the following
departments will be housed in the enlarged hygiene building, namely: — hygiene
and preventive medicine, epidemiology and biometrics, physiological hygiene,
the new sub-department of chemistry in relation to hygiene and public health
nursing. The university section of the Connaught Laboratories will, of course,
also be provided for.

The year has been a very busy one from the teaching standpoint. Actual
registration in the various courses is shown in the table which is included in a
later section of this report. It will be observed that once more the number of
students enrolled in the course leading to the diploma in public health is as large
as that in any previous year since the opening of the School. Among these
students are graduates in medicine from the following Canadian provinces:
eight from the Province of Quebec, one from British Columbia, two from Alberta,
one from Saskatchewan, two from Manitoba, two from Ontario. In addition
one other student was enrolled in several of the courses included in the curriculum
for the diploma in public health. Thus, in several of the laboratory courses,
no fewer than seventeen students were engaged in whole- time work. It is
anticipated that at least fourteen members of the D.P.H. course will complete
the work of the curriculum in May, 1932. It must be remembered also that
these whole-time students spend at least three-quarters of their time in the
academic year in laboratories and class-rooms in the School of Hygiene. The
remainder of the time is spent in the field in the Department of Public Health
of Toronto or the Department of Health, Ontario. Among this group of students
there were nine Rockefeller Foundation fellows and three who were on Connaught
Laboratories' fellowships and, in addition, four students, two from Alberta,
one from Manitoba and one from Ontario, registered as non-fellowship students.

As in previous years laboratory courses in bacteriology, serology, parasit-
ology, epidemiology, vital statistics and physiological hygiene were arranged for
those proceeding to the diploma in public health. Laboratory and didactic
courses for undergraduates in the fifth year in the Faculty of Medicine have been
conducted as in previous years The character of the wrork in the field and
practical exercises has been improved and extended. The School is under the
usual debt of obligation to members of the Department of Health, Ontario,
and to members of the Department of Public Health of the City of Toronto,
for their valued assistance and collaboration in the conduct of these exercises.
In addition, observational visits to farms where milk is produced, to dairies
and to other places of public health interest have been made possible by the
generous co-operation of a number of individuals, agencies and business organisa-
tions. For this assistance and friendly co-operation the thanks of the School of
Hygiene are hereby expressed. The public health and social resources of the
city and of neighboring communities have been generously placed at the dis-
position of a number of members of the staff of the School for the practical
introduction of graduate and undergraduate students to many aspects of the
subject of public health, preventive medicine and general sanitation. This co-
operative relationship has in no small degree contributed to whatever success
has been achieved by this School in attempting to meet its responsibilities as a
centre of graduate and undergraduate research and teaching in public health
in all its aspects.

During this year also, as in the past, graduates proceeding to the higher
degrees of doctor of philosophy and master of arts have been enrolled. One of
the former completed the work for the degree during the present session.

28 University of Toronto

A laboratory course and an extended series of didactic lectures were provided
for students in public health nursing and in the extension course for administrators
and instructors in schools of nursing. The usual course for students in the
Faculty of Arts (household science) was given. For the students in social science
similarly, a course of didactic instruction was provided.

Details of registration in the various courses in the School of Hygiene are
indicated in the following table.

It has been the custom in the past to report the details of research activities
and investigations of members of the teaching staff in the departments of the
School of Hygiene (other than public health nursing) in the report of the Director
of the Connaught Laboratories. That procedure has been followed again this
year.

There has been little diminution in the number of visitors from, various
countries whom we have had the opportunity of entertaining in the School of
Hygiene and Connaught Laboratories for varying periods, during the year
1931-32. These have come from the following countries: Bulgaria, China,
England, France, India, Italy, Jugoslavia, Manchuria, Spain and the United
States and from the various Canadian provinces.

For a period of the next three years the Director of the School of Hygiene
has been appointed Dean of the Faculty of Medicine.

(11) REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN

(W. S. Wallace, Esq., M.A.)

I beg to submit the following report on the work of the University Library
for the year ending June 30, 193^. I

The number of volumes added to the Library during the year has been 12,771
and the number of pamphlets 5-^45-, making the total number of accessioned
volumes in the Library 275,827, and the total number of pamphlets K)0,571. > \ ) y A \

President's Report 29

Up to six years ago no figures were kept for the circulation of books at the
professors' and graduates' register; but since that year an accurate account has
been kept, and I am now able to give the figures for the total circulation in the
Library during t-he-past oix years:

Total circulation 1926-27 1927-28 1928-29 1929-30 1930-31 1931-32 ' fel

Totals 179,278 206,893 211,025 261,698 269,147 296,917 * | 9 \7<l

These figures are exclusive of the books taken for consultation from the
reference shelves, of which 26,671 have been replaced on the shelves by the
Library assistants during the year.

The continuous and progressive increase in the use of the University Library
during the past ten years has imposed on the staff of the University Library a
very heavy burden. No one can maintain that the University Library was over-
staffed ten years ago ; and yet during the past ten years the staff has been increased
by less than 100 per cent., while the circulation of books has increased by 300 per
cent. Although the increase in circulation this year was only ten per cent, over
the preceding year, yet the total increase in circulation, amounting to 27,770,
is almost half the total undergraduate circulation in 1921-22.

It is my duty to call to your attention once again, and in the most emphatic
manner possible, the cumulative congestion in the stack room, work rooms, and
reading rooms of the Library. The delay in the completion of plans for the
building of an addition to the present building, or alternatively the construction
of a new library building, has brought about a situation of the greatest difficulty.
During the coming year it will be necessary, in order to accommodate in the
stack room the new accessions of the Library, to withdraw from circulation and
place in storage books already on the shelves; and even for these, the available
storage space in the Library building is comparatively limited. As for the work
rooms and reading rooms, we have already reached in these the limit of capacity.

During the past year certain changes have been made which it is hoped
will have beneficial results. The periodicals received by exchange, which used
to be kept in a separate room, have been consolidated with the periodicals which
Library buys, in the periodical room; and the shelves in which these exchanges
were kept in the room of the Reference Librarian, have been used to house the
bibliographies and library catalogues which the Library possesses, this freeing
some space in the stack room. At the same time, by arrangement with the
council of the Royal Canadian Institute, the Library has lent one of its assistants
to the Institute for the purpose of re-organising and catching up with arrears
in the Library of the Institute, of which the University Library has custody.
The periodicals received by the University Library, both by purchase and
exchange, together with the periodicals received by the Canadian Institute, total
between three and four thousand in all, and constitute without question the-
largest collection of scientific and scholarly serials in Canada.

During the past year there has been a considerable increase in the number
of books borrowed and lent by the University of Toronto Library on interlibrary
loan. This is a service which the University Library is very glad to render to
professors and graduate students in the University as well as to research workers
in universities elsewhere; and hitherto the cost of this service, both in time and
in carriage, has been borne by the University Library. The increase in the
number of loans, however, has meant a heavy strain on the appropriation avail-
able for expenses in the Library, and it became necessary for the Library Com-
mittee to rule that the Library should undertake to pay postage or express on
interlibrary loans only one way, and that half the cost of carriage must be borne
by the borrower. This has resulted more recently in a diminution in the number
of interlibrary loans, and it is possible that it may work some hardship in the

30 University of Toronto

case of graduate students. On the other hand, it would appear to have checked
what threatened to become in some cases an abuse of the interlibrary loan system.

For reasons of economy, the Library Committee has also felt obliged to
discontinue the practice which has existed for many years of sending books to
professors at their summer homes free of charge.

Finaljy, I wish to bring to your attention the services which have been
rendered to the University during the past year by my assistants on the staff
of the Library. In the face of a deduction from their all too small salaries, and
in the face of increasingly difficult conditions in the work of the Library, they
have sustained the traditions of loyal and effective service in a way which in my
opinion merits the gratitude of the University.

(12) REPORT ON RESEARCH

Anatomy, under direction of Dr. J. C. B. Grant

Dr. R. B. Brown, as research fellow in anatomy, has investigated the
anatomical distribution of the blood vessels of the intestinal tract with a view
to determining the clinical importance of certain branches. The functional value
of these branches now requires to be determined.

Dr. H. H. Burnham, with the assistance of the Banting Foundation, is
investigating the distribution of the minute blood vessels and of the erectile tissue
of the mucous membrane lining the human nasal cavity and its accessory sinuses.

Dr. H. A. Cates, under a^grant from the Banting Foundation and with the
active co-operation of the department of obstetrics, has extended the scope of
his activities in the investigation of the anthropometry of the new born.

There are now almost ready for publication a series of papers whose titles
illustrate the nature of the work done: —

1. Body proportions in the new born. A survey of 35 measurements of 300
male and 300 female infants.

2. The normal pelvis.

3. The pelvis in pregnancy — Types, variability and adaptability to the
mechanism of labour, etc.

4. Correlations between infant head-form and parental types, and between
infant head-forms and maternal pelves.

A large amount of raw data covering over 1200 cases of labour has been
collected; and with the active co-operation of Dr. Edith Gordon and her staff
the nulliparous pelvis has been studied. The St. George's School for Child
Study has also given us every facility and Professor Mcllwraith of the department
of anthropology has actively interested himself throughout the whole investiga-
tion.

Dr. Cates has co-operated with Dr. Goodwin in the devising and constructing
of an excellent instrument for the standardisation of pelvic measurements —
particularly its inclination. A valuable set of data is now accumulating on the
inclination of the pelvis — its variability and importance in labour. This instru-
ment was made in the university workshops and Mr. Maxwell of the super-
intendent's staff gave most active and valuable help and assistance throughout.

Dr. Ruggles George has undertaken a study of certain anomalies found in
the cadaver, and in co-operation with Dr. Cates has continued an investigation
of erosions on joint surfaces in the lower limb.

Dr. B. L. Guyatt, who worked in collaboration with Dr. H. D. Kay, and
H. D. Branion, has published an article on "Beryllium Rickets" in the Journal of
Biological Chemistry, Vol. 92, 1931, and has a further article on the same subject
ready for publication. The following is a summary of this important work: —

President's Report 31

By replacing the calcium carbonate in Steenbock's rachitogenic diet 2965
with an equivalent amount of beryllium carbonate, or by adding small quantities
of this substance to the normal stock diet (Bills), bone lesions which have certain
similarities to rickets may readily be produced in young rats, the severity of the
lesions bearing an approximate relationship to the amount of the beryllium salt
in the diet. The percentage of ash in the bones is much diminished. Both X-ray
photographs and histological sections reveal almost complete failure of mineral
deposition in the metaphysis, even immediately proximal to the epiphyseal disc,
and reduced amounts of mineral salts in the trabeculae and cortex of the tibia.
Other long bones are similarly affected. The depth of the metaphysis is com-
parable to that exhibited in severe Steenbock rickets. The maintenance of the
columnar arrangement of the cartilage cells in the metaphysis is distinctive of
beryllium "rickets" in the rat.

The inorganic phosphorus content of the blood plasma is very much reduced,
and the acid-soluble phosphoric esters of the liver are diminished in quantity.
The phosphatase content of the kidney is markedly lowered. Beryllium does
not appear to be deposited in appreciable quantities in the bone. This type of
bone lesion is not preventable by cod liver oil nor by irradiated ergosterol admin-
istration, nor is it amendable to the anti-rachitic influence of ultraviolet light.

Harry LeMasurier is engaged on the same problem as Dr. Burnham but in
lower animals; and has under construction a model showing the highly com-
plicated conditions found to exist in the cat.

Dr. Margaret Thompson joined the technical staff on April 1st. She is
preparing a number of human embryos for microscopic examination, and is also
acquiring the technique of certain special phases of cytology.

Dr. J. C. Watt is continuing his studies upon calcification and ossification,
and has begun the study of a young human embryo cut in serial sections.

Dr. M. J. Wilson in collaboration with Dr. Lawrence Irving has published
in the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association, December 1931, an article
on "pressures in the stomach."

Astronomy, under direction of Professor C. A. Chant

During the past year much time has been spent on preparations for observing
the total solar eclipse visible in Quebec on August 31, 1932. Owing to the very
limited appropriation for research it was necessary to manufacture a great part
of the apparatus in the astronomical workshop. Arrangements have been
completed for repeating the test for the theory of relativity, although the condit-
ions are not very favourable. A mounting, with clockwork to drive it, has been
made for a four-lens polarigraphic camera, to measure the polarisation of the
light of the solar corona, and the same mounting will carry a battery of cameras
for a photometric programme. The necessary mechanism for obtaining photo-
graphs of the sun with a photographic lens of focal length forty feet has been
completed. Investigations have been carried out to ascertain suitable colour
screens for obtaining motion pictures of the eclipse. Mr. W. S. Armstrong has
completed the calibration of a sensitometer, designed and constructed in our
workshop, to be used in photometric work at the time of the eclipse. In addition
to the work on eclipse problems a large amount of labour has been devoted to
working out the details of the mounting for the new telescope for the David
Dunlap Observatory. The construction of the telescope is well advanced.

Medical Research, under direction of Professor F. G. Banting

Dr. F. G. Banting and Miss S. Gairns have continued the investigation of
chickens immune to Rouse Sarcoma.

Dr. F. G. Banting and Dr. D. A. Irwin made investigations on: (1) the
reaction in host tissue to Rouse Chicken Sarcoma grafts, (2) the result of extirpa-

32 University of Toronto

tion of small intestine of dogs. Dr. D. A. Irwin and Dr. J. H. Couch, of the
department of surgery, carried on an experimental enquiry into the pathogenesis
of pancreatic cysts. Dr. Irwin has investigated the pathological changes follow-
ing the injection of colloidal thorium dioxide in animals.

Dr. E. J. King, with the assistance of Miss M. Dolan, investigated the
enzymic hydrolysis of lecithin, including the study of the liberation of inorganic
phosphate from several other naturally occurring phospho-lipins and derivatives
of phospho-lipins.

Dr. W. R. Franks has continued a study into the nature of tumor glycolysis,
which supplies the anaerobic energy of service to the invading tumor.

experiments on dehydration in dogs and puppies in relation to the enzyme
content of the stools and the production of diarrhoea.

Dr. G. C. Cameron and Miss J. Lang have continued to investigate the
deposition of silica in the tissues of rabbits following exposure to silica dust, or
injection of silicates.

iodo-albumen and in the determination of the normal iodine content of the blood
of rabbits.

Mr. E. L. Outhouse has investigated the presence of hexosemono-phosphate
in the white and dark muscle of chickens.

Professor C. C. Lucas, of Brandon College, working during the summer
months under the auspices of the James Page Rutherford Fellowship, continued
the investigation on the influence of pH on the titration of iodine-reducing
substances.

Professor G. H. Ettinger, of Queen's University, working during the summer
months, carried out the following investigations:

(1) Effect of Janus green on smooth muscle in general, and on the muscle
of blood vessels in particular.

(2) Effect of pitressin on pulmonary circulation.

(3) Histological investigation of the structure of the pulmonary artery in
sheep, pig, ox and horse.

38 University of Toronto

Food Chemistry, wider direction of Professor C. C. Benson

There has been very little research work done in this department this year,
owing to the large amount of time needed for the undergraduate classes.

The instructors, who would, at other times, have been able to do original
work, have all been working with heavy timetables, and for longer teaching hours
than we had anticipated. We have had to take care of undergraduate students
beyond the number we had expected and as a result the research work has
suffered. My own time has also been much occupied with difficulties of adjust-
ment that I have had little chance for direction of graduate students.

Miss K. A. Treacy has made some study of cream, and its constituents, with
special reference to its foaming property, and has been granted her master's
degree. She will continue investigations along the same lines.

We have also been able to make some microscopic studies of milk and its
products and this study will also be continued.

Geology, under direction of Professor W. A. Parks .

1. Professor A. P. Coleman (professor emeritus) was engaged during the

Household Science, under direction of Professor A. L. Laird

During the session 1931-32 two students have worked on graduate problems
under the joint direction of Professors Laird and Willard.

Miss R. Carter made a study of relief dietaries from various centres in
Canada, including a personal investigation into the use of relief food supplies in
Toronto. The study indicates that to make such diets adequate to the largest
possible number of cases there should be some element of choice, and also that a
decentralised system of distribution is advisable. A dietary was worked out and
the opportunity came to try it with three hundred families in Toronto. They
expressed keen satisfaction with the dietary and with the method of distribution.

Miss G. E. Watts reviewed the literature in connection with food allergy
and worked on diets for persons hypersensitive to wheat. Allergy to wheat
occurs more frequently in America than does any other food allergy.

Applied Mathematics, under direction of Professor J. L. Synge

The following researches have been in progress during the session 1931-32:

H. M. Chisholm, M.Sc. : — Stresses in anisotropic fluids.

B. A. Griffith, M.A. : — Higher approximations to the steady flow of a viscous

liquid past a fixed sphere.
A. F. Stevenson, M.A. : — The intensities of certain nebular lines.
J. L. Synge, Sc.D.: — A mathematical theory of the periodontal membrane,

treated as an incompressible elastic solid.

The apsides of general dynamical systems.

Medicine, under direction of Dr. Duncan Graham

The investigation of diseases of the liver and biliary tract is making definite
progress.

Dr. Farquharson, with the assistance of Dr. Keenleyside, has continued his
study on pigment metabolism and on the effects of iron and liver in the treatment
of different forms of anaemia.

Dr. Falconer will publish shortly a report of his work on the capillary
circulation in hyperthyroidism.

Dr. Warner's work on bronchiectasis has contributed a distinct advance to
our knowledge of the cause of dilatation of the bronchi in this disease. This work
will be published shortly. Dr. Warner and Dr. McGregor of the department of
otolaryngology will publish shortly a report of their observations on the effect
of radical antral surgery in cases of bronchitic asthma.

Mineralogy, under direction of Professor T. L. Walker

The time available to the staff in mineralogy for research has been less than
usual owing to the time required to move the Royal Ontario Museum of Miner-
alogy from its old quarters into the eastern wing of the new extension.

Mr. W. L. Brown in addition to his teaching has carried on an examination
of the rocks and minerals from the radium mine near Wilberforce. His work
gives evidence of extensive ionization produced by a long range a particles on
fluorite. Professor A. L. Parsons has continued his studies on the occurrences

40 University of Toronto

of zircon and pitchblende in Central Ontario. Professor Ellis Thomson has
continued his mineralographic studies of ore minerals, his investigations having
particular reference to the mineral association at the radium mines in Great Bear
Lake, the new gold deposits in Ashley township and the study of the minerals
at the Cross Lake Mine at Cobalt. Professor T. L. Walker has devoted con-
siderable time to an examination of the basic igneous rocks from Sextant Rapids.
Ontario, and of the plagioclase graphic granite from Hybla, Ontario. Mr. E. M,
Quinlan, research assistant in mineralogy, has greatly assisted by the conduct
of chemical analyses of minerals and rocks under investigation.

Those investigations which have been completed are outlined in papers
published during the year.

Obstetrics and Gynaecology, under direction of Dr. W. B. Hendry

The following investigations have been undertaken with satisfactory results:

1. A new obstetrical forceps has been devised by Doctor John Mann, which
depends for its efficiency on a split universal joint. This forceps was exhibited
at the last meeting of the American Gynaecological Society and met with a great
deal of favorable criticism.

2. A new goniopelvimeter — an instrument for measuring the varying pelvic
tilt during pregnancy, has been designed by Dr. James Goodwin and was exhibited
before the American Gynaecological Society, where it was commented upon very
favorably.

3. Research work on the early and late toxaemias has been continued with
the department of pathological chemistry.

4. A study of the effects of pregnancy and the puerperium on the female
ureter has been carried out in co-operation with the departments of urology and
radiology, the results of which will be published shortly.

Paediatrics, under direction of Dr. A. Brown

It is of interest to note that each of the problems investigated is of interest
not only to the hospital physicians, but also to the physicians in general practice,
for example: it has been shown conclusively that the condition known as "acute
intestinal intoxication", which accounted for no less than seventy-five deaths
in the Hospital for Sick Children during the past year, is caused by dysentery
types of bacteria, including the paratyphoid group. Before this work was com-
pleted the cause of this condition was unknown. As "acute intestinal intoxica-
tion" is now rarely seen among the private patients of the medical staff of this
hospital, it can readily be seen that it simply remains to educate the general
public in order to practically eradicate this disease.

It is quite evident that further progress in the field of paediatrics, as in
other branches of medicine, will depend on the close co-operation of the work in
various fields of research. It is with great pleasure that we are able to report
that not only is there very close co-operation among the workers in the labora-
tories themselves, but also arrangements have been made for closer co-operation
with the department of physiology and the Banting and Best department of
medical research.

Pathology and Bacteriology, under direction of Professor Oskar Klotz

The research activities of this department, during 1931-1932, have been
continuously expanding into new fields as each of the members of the permanent
staff has assumed the responsibilities of progressive studies along chosen lines.
Each of these studies involves researches of a continued character which in some
instances will require several years of application. The department has now

President's Report 41

under its direction the division of neuropathology, in which we hope for main-
tained progress in the field which in the past has received but little attention at
our University. The division of neuropathology is under the direction of Dr. E. A.
Linell, and already there is developing about him a group of interested research
workers. Related to this work in neuropathology the department has made
available the necessary laboratory facilities for the study of the pathological
material arising in the Ontario Hospitals. Dr. J. A. Hannah, who is in charge
of this work, is co-operating closely with Dr. Linell. We look forward to a future
when this new neurological division in pathology will be a centre for investigation
of the various types of nervous diseases which appear in the several clinics. With
this expansion in the department of pathology and bacteriology the physical
capacity of the building occupied by this department is now filled to overflowing.

During the past year there have been four research fellows who have given
their entire time to the research problems under their care. These are — Dr.
M. H. Book, Ellen Mickle Fellow; Dr. H. L. Vanderveer, Banting Research
Foundation Fellow; Miss B. R. Wallace, Fellow; and Dr. R. M. Price, Fellow of
the National Research Council.

Besides the researches carried out by the special fellows, each of the members
of the regular staff has been engaged in his special study and investigation.
A list of the researches which have been published or are in the course of publica-
tion are appended to this report.

Dr. Vanderveer has been engaged in a particularly interesting study con-
cerning the development of arteriosclerosis in the diabetic. This investigation
is of prime importance, inasmuch as since the introduction of insulin, one of the
outstanding dangers confronting the diabetic is the development of a progressive
arteriosclerosis. It would appear that at least part of the arterial lesions is
dependent upon the metabolic disturbances accompanying diabetes before insulin
treatment is undertaken. Special types of arterial lesions are related to the
depletion of the carbohydrate content of the musculature of the arteries.

Dr. Price has continued her studies upon the incidence of bovine tuberculosis
in man and has shown that a very material proportion of the cases of surgical
tuberculosis arise from the distribution of the bovine type of tubercle bacillus,
through the agency of milk. She has also investigated the claims that Hodgkin's
Disease is the outcome of infection by the avian organism. She has found no
support for this contention although an infection by the tubercle bacillus some-
times accompanies the disease. Further studies have also been carried out
indicating the influence of silica upon the development of tuberculosis. It is
evident that the more soluble compounds of silica influence more actively the
tuberculous infection than the insoluble ones.

Dr. Book has studied the problem of the filtrability of micro-organisms
through the normal kidney. It had been shown in previous experiments that
the tubercle bacillus will not pass this organism without the presence of a lesion.
It would seem that the same truth holds for other infections and that under
ordinary conditions bacteria do not escape through the kidney in the absence
of a demonstrable damage.

Miss Wallace has continued her studies on the infection of tissues in the
normal animal by various bacteria. It has been shown in her experiments that
the healthy tissues of experimental animals are susceptible, when local lesions
are induced, to infection by bacteria arising from the intestinal canal. This is
particularly true in disturbances of the peritoneal cavity.

Professor Oskar Klotz is continuing his studies on yellow fever and is laying
the permanent basis upon which pathological diagnoses may be established.
Many suggestions have been made in the past respecting individual changes in
special organs or cells, but many of these have been found to be uncertain guides
in practical field work. He has shown that certain nuclear changes, which have
been claimed to be specific for yellow fever, can be reproduced by other means.
He has also returned to some of his former studies on arteriosclerosis. This well

42 University of Toronto

trodden path of work still requires much for the proper understanding of the
nature and development of the condition. The influence of diet in relation to
the development of arteriosclerosis has been greatly overrated.

Professor W. L. Holman is continuing his interest in the study of the strep-
tococci in which field he was one of the pioneers of our present understanding.
Some of the fundamental characteristics of the streptococci must be further
investigated so that the differentiation of types and strains may be given better
practical value. It may be possible to differentiate these organisms according
to their habitat, although the permanency of some of the variants may not be
sufficiently fixed to be of practical assistance. In relation to these studies on
streptococci Dr. A. B. Beattie has undertaken to determine the differential
method for the recognition of streptococci inhabiting the alimentary tract.

Professor W. L. Robinson has carried on further studies on the pathology
of bronchiectasis in man. He has already published upon this subject but he is
extending his investigations in the light of some new findings.

Dr. J. L. Blaisdell is investigating the renal lesions in rheumatic fever.
Rheumatic fever is an important topic in many countries and a true understanding
of the disease can be obtained only after its pathology has been clearly unfolded.
The influence of the disease upon the heart, arteries and joints has been well
established, but closer analyses have now shown that the disease affects many
tissues and occasionally has its influence upon the kidney. These studies are
the beginning of a continued investigation which it may be hoped will assist in
furthering the conception of the multiplicity of rheumatic lesions in different parts
of the body.

Dr. Belt who during the past year (under the Department of Medical
Research) carried out studies in pathology at the University of Freiburg and the
University of Frankfurt, returned to Toronto and has accepted a post of lecturer
in pathology. He is furthering his studies on the fibroses of lung. This condi-
tion which so commonly follows in the wake of influenza, measles and broncho-
pneumonias due to chemicals, may also be related to other harmful influences
acting upon the lung. This condition has received greater importance through
the higher incidence arising amongst returned soldiers, as well as its importance
to the influence of anaesthetics.

Dr. J. E. Barry studied a case of primary angio-endothelioma of the public
bone. Dr. P. W. Hardie — A study of the spleen to determine the content of
oxydase positive cells. Dr. H. F. Mowat — A case of multiple aneurysms of the
aorta and great vessels. Dr. C. R. Rapp — Calcification of aortic valves.
Dr. R. S. Saddington — Yeast infection in man with a report of a case.

Pathological Chemistry , under direction of Dr. V. J. Harding

Dr. R. W. I. Urquhart has carried out a sound and interesting research on
the prognostic value of the urea clearance test in surgical urological cases.

Dr. D. L. Selby has continued his researches on the physiological glycos-
urias. He has discovered the occurrence of ' 'afternoon glycosuria" in a series
of renal glycosuriacs and has established the practical possibility of carrying out
glucose tolerance tests at times of the day other than the morning. Dr. A. R.
Armstrong has been associated with this work.

Mr. G. A. Grant has continued his investigations on the utilisation of
galactose. His methods of analysis have been refined and extended. Definite
answer can now be given to several questions arising out of the metabolism of
that sugar and the limits of its occurrence in man, after its oral administration
have been determined.

Professor T. F. Nicholson has succeeded in devising a scheme of analysis
for individual sugars in mixtures. It is now possible to analyse glucose, fructose,
galactose, maltose, lactose and saccharose. This has been a most painstaking
piece of work and reflects great credit on everyone concerned. Mr. G. A. Grant,
Mr. G. Hern and Mr. C. E. Downs have been associated with this piece of work.

President's Report 43

Pharmacology, under direction of Dr. V. E. Henderson

The year has not been as productive as I would have liked, partly owing to
some of the problems undertaken being long and involved, and the results of the
work done will be apparent in the future. Dr. Lucas and myself completed an
experimental study of Bancroft's revival of the precipitation theory of narcosis,
and we were able to show conclusively that Bancroft had been misled in his
experiments by lack of knowledge of anaesthesia. Dr. Lucas devoted a good
deal of time, which I consider to great advantage, to the study of the absorption
and medicinal use of iron. This study resulted in the preparation of a new form
of ferrous chloride for iron therapy which is now being tried by the staff in
medicine, with apparently satisfactory results. Dr. Roepke and myself have
practically brought to a conclusion a study of the mechanism of salivary secretion,
and have shown that the stimulation of the chorda produces a flow of saliva by
the liberation of acetylcholine peripherally. This work extends that of Loewi
and of Dale to gland structures, and the newer conceptions thus confirmed are
likely to upset a great deal of our previous pharmacological thinking and teaching.
Mr. Welch had made a certain amount of progress with the study on the action
of apocodeine, when a paper appeared which made it inadvisable to continue the
work. Dr. J. M. Scott, working under a grant from the Banting Research
Foundation to Dr. D. R. Mitchell, has continued the study of urinary antiseptics,
and I consider that this work has thrown a definite light on their use and will *
be of clinical importance. I have completed the study of the afferent and
efferent connections of the respiratory centre, which will be reported at the
International Physiological Congress.

Physics, lender direction of Professors J. C. McLennan and E. F. Burton

During the session 1931-32 there were sixty graduate students in attendance
in the department of physics. Of these, eighteen were engaged in experimental
research work, and the remainder were taking various courses of lectures. Twenty-
eight students were enrolled in various courses in physics as part of their work
for the Ph.D. degree, and twenty-three in courses leading to the M.A., M.A.Sc,
and M.S. A. degrees. In physics three students were granted the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy and two the degree of Master of Arts.

Special lectures in advanced physics were given during the past year in the
department by the following: — Professor P. A. M. Dirac, of Cambridge, England,
Professor P. Debye, of the University of Leipzig, Professor G. Dejardin, of the
University of Lyon, France, and Dr. G. L. Clarke, department of chemistry,
University of Illinois.

A list of the researches carried out or directed by the different members
of the staff in physics is given in detail below.

A. Researches under the directon of Professor J. C. McLennan, in collaboration
with —

(1) Mr. J. F. Allen and Mr. J. O. Wilhelm

On the superconductivity of alloys containing gold and silver.

This research deals with observations made on the electrical
conductivity at very low temperatures of binary alloys of both the
superconductive metals, lead and tin with gold and silver.
The strength of persistent currents in superconductive circuits.

Rings composed of lead, tin and tantalum were cooled by means of
liquid helium down to temperatures which rendered them super-
conducting. By means of changing the magnetic flux through these
rings induced currents were set up in them. Since the rings were in the
superconductive state, they offered no resistance to these currents and

44 University of Toronto

as a result the currents persisted at full strength so long as the rings were
kept superconductive. The strengths of these persistent currents were
measured by means of a deflection device and found to be of the order
of one hundred amperes in a ring of small cross section. The currents
induced in all three rings were identical in strength for the same changes
of flux through them.

(2) Mr. A. C. Burton

The experimental demonstration of the effects of coupling of harmonic
motions as illustrating phenomena in quantum mechanics.
Small electrical circuits were constructed having an inductance,
a capacity and a small lamp in series. These were made resonant to
high frequency waves from a generator. By their use the effect of the
mutual interaction of identical harmonic oscillators in producing a
splitting of the resonance point could be demonstrated. This is the
electrical analogue of the 'coupled pendulums' in mechanics, and in
illustrating some analogues with phenomena occurring in modern
quantum theory, such as the 'Heisenberg interchange phenomenon',
the electrical demonstration has considerable advantages over the
mechanical.

(3) Miss E. J. Allin and Mr. A. C. Burton

The change in the infra-red reflecting power of bismuth in a magnetic field.
An experiment was carried out to test whether there was any
change in the reflecting power for light of wave-length 4 to 8, ju of a
narrow bismuth mirror placed between the poles of a large electro-
magnet when the field was applied. No change was observed.

(4) A. C. Burton, A. Pitt, and J. O. Wilhelm

The phenomena of conductivity with alternating currents of high frequency .
The phenomena of superconductivity, namely the abrupt and
total disappearance of the electrical resistance of certain metals at low
temperatures when the latter reach a critical point characteristic of each
metal had hitherto not been investigated using alternating currents.
It was found that a similar abrupt change occurred in the resistance to
currents of high frequency, of the order of ten million per second, but at
a critical temperature which was slightly lower than that found with
direct currents. This depression of the superconducting point increased
with the frequency used. It has been measured with the metals tin,
lead, tantalum, and an alloy of lead and bismuth, using alternating
currents of several frequencies.

(5) J. M. Anderson

Duration of metas table states.

The manner and rate of decay of the absorption shown by excited
neon for certain lines of its spectrum has been determined at room
temperature and liquid air temperature.

(6) M. F. Crawford and A. M. Crooker
Extension of term analyses, Pb III, and Pb IV.

The spectrum of Pb has been studied in the region 10,000-500 A.U.°
New terms in Pb III and Pb IV have been found from an analysis of the
data. These term analyses form the bases for hyperfine structure
interpretations which are under investigation.
Hyperfine structure of As. IV.

Lines of As. IV have been examined with a concave grating and a
high dispersion prism spectrograph. Some of the lines were found to

President's Report 45

have large hyperfine structure. The interpretation of this structure
should lead to the determination of nuclear propertiesof As.

(7) M. F. Crawford and R. W. McKay

Hyperfine structure of Sb. IV.

The hyperfine structure of lines of Sb. IV have been analysed with
several high resolving power instruments. Many of the lines have
complex patterns with separations up to 3 cm.-1. This structure is
being interpreted to check the term analysis and to determine properties
of the nuclei of the Sb isotopes.

(8) M. F. Crawford and G. A. Purdy

Development of a light source for hyperfine structure investigations of high

spark lines.

A source is being developed by which the vapour of the element
is excited in a field-free-space by bombarding it with accelerated
electrons emitted by a hot filament.

(9) A. B. McLay and M. F. Crawford
Term and hyperfine structure of Tl III.

A number of terms of Tl III arising from configurations involving
od96s core have been identified and their hyperfine structure analysed.
Vector couplings in the electronic sequence Au, Hg, Tl are discussed.
Spark spectra of bismuth Bi II, III, and IV.

The spectrum of Bi has been investigated with a vacuum grating
spectrograph. Through the data obtained our former analyses of Bi II
and III has been extended and terms in Bi IV identified.

(10) Miss F. M. Quinlan

Interferometer measurements in the extreme ultraviolet region of copper.
The International Astronomical Union has accepted the wave-
length of certain radiations in the spectra of iron, of neon, and of the
sun, as fundamental standards of wavelength, but no standards have
been adopted below X 3370 A. Since the spectrum of copper has many
strong lines in the region X 2300 A to X 1979 A a m/mber of these were
compared with accepted standards of longer wavelength, by means
of a Fabry and Perot interferomet combined with a spectrograph for
auxiliary dispersion.

(11) R. Turnbull

The ultraviolet absorption of bands of neon.

The absorption band in the neighbourhood of the resonance line
X 1469.6 of Xenon was observed at pressures from 1 to 760 mm.
mercury at room temperature.

(12) H. D. Smith

Raman effects with liquid and solid carbon dioxide.

Raman spectrograms of clear liquid C02 at a ture of — 56°C and a
pressure of 75 lbs. per sq. inch we obtained. Four Raman frequency
shifts were recorded. Carbon dioxide is the first substance whose
Raman effecr. has been studied in the solid, liquid, and gaseous condition.

(13) H. D. Smith and J. O. Wilhelm

The scattering of light with liquid helium.

Spectrograms were obtained of the light scattered by liquid helium
at temperatures above and below the triple point at 2.19°K. A com-
parison was made of the relative scattering powers of liquid helium
and benzene.

46 University of Toronto

Absorption spectra of liquefied gases.

The absorption spectra of liquid nitrogen, liquid argon, liquid
hydrogen, and liquid helium were studied in the region between X 2500
A° and X 9000 A°.

B. Researches under the direction of Professor E. F. Burton, in collaboration
with—

Miss M. Annetts, M.A.

(a) Investigation on absorption of colloids by filter paper.

(b) Experimental work on the preparation and properties of arsenic
colloidal solutions.

on the treatment of various cases of tumors by arsenic colloidal solution.

C. Researches under the direction of Professor John Satterly, in collaboration
with —

Mr. E. L. Stuckey, B.A.

On surface tension and viscosity.

Work has been continued on the thickness of liquid films on plates
which have been wetted and allowed to drain. The time relations
between thickness and distance have been worked out. By means of a
new powerful monochromatic lamp and camera, thicknesses have been
determined from photographs of the interference fringes.

D. Researches under the direction of Professor L. Gilchrist, in collaboration
with —

(1) Mr. W. P. Dobson

films of organic substances on the surface of water or of aqueous solu-
tions.

F. Research by Professor D. S. Ainslie

The development of a new form of balance for illustrating and
measuring the forces in an electromagnetic field.

G. Research by Mr. Colin Barnes, in collaboration with Dr. A. R. Gordon of
the Department of Chemistry

Entropy calculations for use in thermodynamics have been made
for several specific types of molecules. Special considerations of the
symmetry numbers involved and of the effect of isotopes were applied

President's Report 47

to the cases of methane and chlorine respectively. Equilibrium con-
stants for several well known reactions can be predicted within the
limits of experimental error.
During the year the special facilities offered by the laboratory have been
made use of by various other departments of the University. This phase of the
work of the department has been and will be in the future especially fostered.
A few examples may be cited: (a) assistance to students doing: research in
dentistry with the problem of diffusion of gases through dental casts; (b) deposi-
tion of metallic mirror films on glass surfaces for the department of pathology;
and (c) use X-rays for the study of crystal structure and size of particles for the
department of metallurgy.

Attention should be drawn to the existence and efficient management of the
cryogenic laboratory. In addition to the production of liquid air, and liquid
hydrogen for use in any department of the University, liquid helium is produced
whenever desired for various low temperature researches. This equipment is
available in only three other places in the world, viz., Leiden, Washington, and
Berlin. The cryogenic laboratory is the most distinctive feature of the depart-
ment of physics and the University owes a great debt of gratitude to Professor
J. C. McLennan, who retires at the close of this year, for bringing this feature
of the laboratory to its present high state of efficiency in spite of many dis-
couraging circumstances.

Physiology, under direction of Professor C. II. Best

The teaching of physiology during the last academic year has been facilitated
by the use of the new "Practical Physiology", which has been prepared by
members of the staff of this department. A text-book on "Elementary Physiol-
ogy" by Professor N. B. Taylor and the head of the department has also been
completed. In the section of general physiology Dr. Laurence Irving's course is
attracting an increasingly large number of graduate students in biology and
biochemistry. In general physiology provision has been made for advanced work
by the better students. A new laboratory and lecture course in special senses
has been planned and adopted this year. This course, under the supervision
of Dr. Ruth C. Partridge, has been very satisfactory and can now be gradually
improved without further reorganisation. The Physiological Journal Club has
been particularly well attended, and representatives from most of the depart-
ments of the medical faculty have participated in the discussions.

One of the most interesting research problems has been the physiological
significance of a substance (or substances) which prevents deposition of liver fat
in diabetic and normal animals. This problem has been studied continuously
since July 1927 in this department, but considerable impetus has been given to
the work this year by the discovery that the deposition of liver fat in normal
animals can be prevented by the use of the active substance. Evidence has been
obtained that the active component of the substance is choline, and several
investigations have already been initiated to investigate the physiological signifi-
cance of choline in fat metabolism. Miss M. E. Huntsman, Dr. G. C. Ferguson,
Mr. O. M. Solandt and Mr. J. M. Hershey have collaborated with the head of the
department in this research. Closely related problems have been investigated
in collaboration with Dr. D. L. MacLean and Miss J. H. Ridout of the department
of physiological hygiene. The results of these studies in fat metabolism have
already shed considerable light on several important problems.

Mr. Solandt, in collaboration with Miss Ridout, has re-investigated the
length of the recovery period after muscular exercise, and considerable valuable
information has been obtained on this important subject. In collaboration with
Dr. Ferguson, Mr. Solandt has made a short study of the blood sugar in human
subjects after strenuous exercise.

48 University of Toronto

Studies upon calcium metabolism were continued this year by Professor
N. B. Taylor and Dr. C. B. Weld, assisted by Messrs. W. R. Cameron and J. F.
Sykes, the former a graduate student in biology and medicine, and the latter
a graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College. Some interesting facts concern-
ing the absorption of calcium and the action of irradiated ergosterol upon the
excretion and absorption of this mineral have been obtained. Dr. Weld has
divided his time about equally between the Hospital for Sick Children and this
department. In association with Mr. Sykes he has carried out a profitable
investigation into the action of irradiated ergosterol upon the absorption of
calcium in children. Mr. Cameron obtained material for his M.A. thesis from
a series of determinations upon the total calcium content of the bodies of normal
dogs and upon the effects of irradiated ergosterol upon the serum calcium in
parathyroidectomised animals. Mr. Sykes has assisted in a series of experiments
upon the action of bile in reference to the toxic effects of irradiated ergosterol.
It has been found that animals in which a bile fistula has been made can not be
brought under the influence of irradiated ergosterol administered orally. This
observation opens up a very interesting field of investigation, but it is too early
to offer any opinion regarding its significance. Investigations into the problems
of intestinal obstruction have been continued this year, but a considerable
amount of work in this field which had been planned could not be accomplished
owing to other pressing work and the lack of the necessary assistance. Arrange-
ments have been made to provide means for continuing the work more ener-
getically during the coming session.

The results of several years of work in the section of general physiology
indicated that it would be important to determine whether the carbonates in
bones could participate in regulating the acid-base equilibrium of the body.
The subject was investigated by feeding acid to rats and guinea-pigs, and sub-
sequently analysing the bones. It has been established that the carbonates of
bone are partially expelled by the action of strong acid ingested with the food,
and that the bones are subject to alteration with the acid-base balance of the
body as a whole. The work was carried on by Dr. Irving in collaboration with
Mr. A. L. Chute, who developed analytical methods suitable for the work, and
who has executed the experiments and delicate analyses with exceptional ability.

In collaboration with Dr. M. J. Wilson, Dr. Irving has undertaken an
investigation of the acid-base equilibrium in the gastric mucosa. The subject is
important to pure physiology because of the remarkable acid secretion of the
cells of the mucosa. It is also important in a practical way on account of the
suggested relation between acidity and various prevalent gastric disorders.
By determining the C02 content of the mucosa it was possible to show that the
tissue maintains an approximately neutral reaction, in spite of its ability to
secrete strong acid.

Postmortal changes in the mucosa were also examined, and it was found
that acid is produced. The acid formed was not the regular secretion of strong
acid, but probably represented the disintegration of the metabolic systems in the
cells. It is hoped that the investigations will form the basis for a more penetrat-
ing search into the properties of this interesting and important tissue. The
methods developed have opened promising new avenues of investigation.

In collaboration with Miss A. E. C. Riggs, Dr. Irving has investigated the
process of postmortal lactic acid formation in mammalian skeletal muscle.
It was known that acidity was a factor in limiting lactic acid formation and the
performance of work by frog's muscle. The experiments show that acid has a
similar limiting effect on mammalian muscle and that the effect of hydrochloric
acid is less than that of the lactic acid formed in the muscle itself. Miss Riggs
also investigated the same process in heart muscle. The effect of acid is similar
in some general ways, but quite distinct in certain details. The work on the
heart is incomplete at present, but serves as an introduction to the problem

President's Report 49

of why heart muscle should be so much less resistant toward asphyxia than
skeletal muscle.

Dr. Edward Fidlar's previous work in gas analysis was interrupted when it
was found that a slow but continuous contraction was proceeding in a sample of
atmospheric air. The fundamental principle of measurement had to be ex-
amined. A similar change was encountered outside the gas apparatus, and
certain experiments with air and other gas mixtures have, up to the present,
given only a partial explanation of a technical nature.

Dr. Partridge has established the fact that the carotid sinus and cardiac
depressor nerves conduct afferent impulses, and has recorded these impulses
during various changes in blood pressure. It has been observed that a rise in
the carotid blood pressure is accompanied by an increase in the frequency of the
impulses in the carotid sinus and cardiac depressor nerves and by a fall in femoral
blood pressure. On the other hand, a decrease in the carotid pressure coincides
with a diminution in the frequency of the nerve impulses and an increase in the
femoral blood pressure. This change in the frequency of the impulses in response
to an altered carotid pressure seems to be the basis for the reflex control of the
systemic blood pressure by the carotid sinus and arch of the aorta.

The study of the afferent impulses in the vagus and superior laryngeal nerves
has been extended. The expanded lung has been shown to be the important
factor in the initiation of the impulses in the pulmonary branch of the vagus
nerve. The impulses appear to pass up the vagus nerve throughout inspiration
in normal and forced respiration. This mechanism for the control of the respira-
tory rhythm is supplemented in forced respiration by impulses initiated by the
movement of air through the air passages and transmitted by the superior
laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve.

The method of extraction of insulin from pancreatic tissue, developed in this
laboratory by Dr. C. M. Jephcott, has been adopted, and its applicability to
quantitative determinations of the insulin content of such tissue has been amply
confirmed by Dr. E. T. Waters, who was a member of the staff of the University
of Wales before coming to Toronto. Previous attempts to recover added purified
insulin from tissues by this process were only partially successful. A modification
has been devised which permits a quantitative recovery of such additions of
purified insulin. An explanation has been offered regarding the incomplete
recovery by the above-mentioned process. Utilising the above method of
extraction an investigation has been conducted, in co-operation with Dr. D. W. G.
Murray, of the department of surgery, on the effect of infection on the insulin
content of the pancreas of dogs. A significant lowering of the insulin content
of the pancreas has been found, the extent of the decrease depending on the
severity of the infection. In collaboration with Dr. D. A. Scott and Dr. A.
Charles of the Connaught Laboratories, Dr. Waters has studied the effect of
certain derivatives of insulin administered orally to a normal and a depan-
creatised dog. In no instance was any physiological activity detected. No
significant difference could be discerned in the insulin resistance of (1) mice fed
on a high fat diet, containing no choline, and thus leading to fatty infiltration
of the livers, and (2) those fed on the same diet, but supplied with sufficient
choline to maintain apparently perfectly normal livers. Investigations have
been conducted on the unusually high glycogen values found in the livers of rats
receiving a diet high in fat.

Psychology, under direction of Professor E. A. Bott

Thirteen graduates pursued special researches under members of the staff
in this department during the past session.

The degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon nine students presenting

Radiology, under direction of Dr. G. E. Richards

Of developments in Radiological methods one of the most interesting has
been the addition of yet one more to the ever-increasing list of opaque substances,
by which the soft tissues of the body may be visualised and studied. This list
began with the bismuth salts, later replaced by barium sulphate, and by these
means the investigation of the alimentary tract was revolutionised. To these
were added opaque solutions in the urological field, then Lipiodol in the bronchial
tree and other accessible hollow organs and, later, the phenolphthalein derivatives
in the gall-bladder and air injections into the various cavities of the brain and
spinal cord. The year just passed has added to these thorium dioxide under a
variety of names (Thorotrast etc.). This drug is absorbed and retained by the
reticuloendothelial system, making it now possible for the first time to make
satisfactory studies of the liver and spleen. Its possibilities bid fair to be far
reaching and somewhat spectacular, e.g. by its presence in the placenta the
number of foetuses may be established (in rabbits) with great accuracy, and in
the human this suggests possible uses in localising the number, position and form
of the placenta, e.g., in placenta praevia etc.

An interesting series of researches has been conducted by Dr. Dickson into
the uses of this drug, not only to establish the usefulness, but also to determine
the safety of its use in the human body. In these researches Dr. Dickson has
received the valued assistance and co-operation of Dr. Irwin of the department
of research, which is most gratefully acknowledged. Various papers on this
subject are in course of publication.

Surgery, under direction of Dr. W. E. Gallie

The surgical laboratories in the Banting Institute have been in constant use
during the year. Dr. D. R. Mitchell has completed his studies of urinary
antiseptics and in conjunction with Dr. D. M. Scott has sent in two important
papers for publication. Dr. R. I. Harris has continued his study of the effect

Presided r's Report 51

of extirpation of the lumbar sympathetic cord on the growth of the lower ex-
tremities, in the hope that a satisfactory method may be found of preventing
the shortening- which occurs in infantile paralysis. Dr. Gordon Murray has
been experimenting with methods of anastomosing blood vessels and searching
for ways of preventing post-operative thrombosis. Dr. Stuart Gordon has
begun a study of duodenal ulcer and the surgical means of overcoming it.

Therapeutics, under direction of Dr. R. D. Rudolf

Dr. Arthur G. Smith, research fellow, has been working, and is still working,
on the important effects upon the blood of lowering high blood-pressure by various
means. It has been held by some workers that such a lowering tends to cause
retention of noxious products in the system, but from our results so far this does
not seem to be the case. The subject is naturally of great therapeutic import-
ance.

Report of the Committee for Experimental Research in Medicine
(J. G. FitzGerald, Convener)

The Committee for Experimental Research in Medicine had its origin, a
number of years ago, in an arrangement whereby facilities for the conduct of
animal experimentation by members of the clinical departments (primarily
surgery and medicine) were provided, first in the department of pathology and
bacteriology and later in the Banting Institute.

At the outset it was clearly appreciated that the provision and co-ordination
of resources could best be obtained by the creation of a small committee consisting
of members of the co-operating departments with the dean of the faculty as
chairman. While at first the number of persons carrying on investigations was
not large some exceedingly interesting and valuable work was undertaken.

Now it is true to say that, from the view point of the promotion of scientific
knowledge by those who are engaged in clinical work, nothing is more essential
than the opportunities afforded by the appropriations for the support of this
work. In addition to the departments of surgery, medicine (including pediatrics)
and otolaryngology, the laboratory departments of medical research, pathology
and bacteriology and pathological chemistry, have, during the year, utilised the
facilities afforded by this arrangement. It should also be pointed out that the
Banting-Best department of medical research has supplemented materially the
available appropriations of the Committee. Without this financial assistance
the Committee could not have maintained its technical staff or provided all the
necessary material for the large number of experiments, 1496 in all, which were
conducted by workers from various departments during the current session.

Four meetings have been held and the necessary administrative arrange-
ments have been made with the approval and support of the various departments
concerned. Professor F. G. Banting has aided most generously both in sup-
plementing the resources of the Committee and collaborating with various
investigators who have sought his counsel and assistance. Dr. D. E. Robertson
has continued to serve as Secretary and has given unsparingly of his time and
energy to promote the welfare of this important activity of the Faculty of
Medicine.

School of Engineering Research, Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering

Research under the auspices of the School of Engineering Research has been
in progress during the past year in almost all departments of this faculty. The
experimental results obtained have been very encouraging and in some instances

52 University of Toronto

have reached the stage where applications to industry and to engineering practice
appear justifiable.

The number of students proceeding to the degrees M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. is
increasing, indicating a greater desire of graduates in this faculty to pursue
research work of a purely scientific nature and having to do with underlying
principles.

Bulletin No. 9, containing thirteen papers, will be published during the
next month.

Department of Civil Engineering

Under the direction of Professor C. R. Young
(with W. B. Dunbar)

Lateral support of steel columns and struts — Experimental work on the
nineteen 20-ft. laterally supported steel columns varying in width from 6 to
15 5/8 in. has been completed during the present year. Analysis of the results
and the preparation of the many diagrams necessary is now in progress. Definite
information with respect to the amount of the lateral supjjort necessary in order
to stay a column completely has been obtained and formulae will be set up in the
report now in preparation.

Pressure on deeply buried sewers — Readings have been continued during the
year on the fourteen pressure cells in place on the deep sewers constructed in
tunnel in the new North Toronto system. It is probable that the last readings
will be taken within the next few months and that the investigation will be
concluded with a detailed report,
(with K. B. Jackson)

Restraint of welded beams and girders — The work of testing the eighteen large
specimens consisting of welded and riveted wind connections has been completed
and the report is in the course of preparation. A very large number of diagrams
have had to be prepared in order to be able to generalise on the results of the
tests. It is believed that much information of value to the designing engineer
will be made available when the results are fully analysed.

Department of Mining Engineering

Under the direction of Professor H. E. T. Haultain
(with W. E. Johnston)

A continuation of the work on some of the fundamentals of the cyanide
process has led to the study of the gold bearing telluride minerals. A new method
for the separation of these minerals from their ores has been developed. An
entirely new method for rapid identification of these minerals has been developed.
Progress has been made in the study of the reactions of these minerals with
cyanide and evidence has been produced, for the first time, that several of the
gold bearing tellurides are readily soluble in cyanide.

A new and rapid method has been developed for the microscopic determina-
tion of very fine particles of some of the important minerals occurring in ore
dressing practice.

Under the direction of Professor F. C. Dyer
(with H. L. McClelland)
(1) More work has been done on the improvement of the decks of ore
concentrating tables of the Wilfley type. The improvement is directed towards
increasing the capacity of the machines and at the same time bettering the work
they do. The General Engineering Corporation of New York has adopted the
idea and the first two tables on a commercial basis, one a full sized and the other
a half sized machine, have been installed in the Mill of the International Radium
and Resources Company, Wilberforce, Ontario. They report the tables have

President's Report 53

greater capacity than expected but detailed numerical results of the work of the
tables is not yet available. Further work is projected with the idea of making
this improvement available for slime concentrating machines.

(2) The cleaning of seeds is a problem of outstanding importance for the
agricultural industry. One of the hitherto unsolved problems was the separation
of the seeds of Bladder Campion and some other similar weed seeds from the
various clover seeds. A study of this problem was commenced last summer and
a discovery of major importance resulted. It was discovered that in these
groups of seeds there was a varying degree of wettability which made them
amenable to treatment by the ore dressing processes of flotation. Laboratory
work developed modifications in the processes and progress was so satisfactory
that a commercial machine is now being installed in the plant of the Eddy Seed
Cleaning Company.

Under the direction of Professor J. T. King
(with S. E. Wolfe)
"The effects of cupel media on cupellation losses". This study on many
of the variables which contribute to the loss occurring during cupellation has
been in progress for several years. Recently some of the previous results have
been extended and information of practical application has been obtained.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Under the direction of Professor R. W. Angus

Studies have been carried out on the conditions of flow in open channels,
particularly at transition sections.

(with R. Taylor and C. G. Heard)
Measurements have been made of the pressures in a pipe in close proximity
to an elbow or an obstruction,
(with C. G. Heard)
Flow conditions below a dam and in channels with high velocity water have
been investigated and coefficients of discharge for flow over dams obtained,
(with R. Taylor and C. G. Heard)
A study of stream flow through a Kaplan turbine by means of Pitot tubes
has been carried out.

Under the direction of Professor E. A. Allcut

An investigation of the distribution of mixture in multi-cylinder gasoline
engines has been completed and is described in Bulletin No. 9 of the School of
Engineering Research. This bulletin also contains a description of a research
on concealed radiators, using steam and hot water respectively.

The 24 inch hot plate for investigating heat transmission through materials
has been supplemented by a 12 inch plate and comparative tests are now being
made on them.

Department of Architecture

The study which has been in progress for some years of "The Early Archi-
tecture of Ontario", with a view to making a permanent record of old buildings
which possess historical or architectural value, has been continued.

(with W. M, Inouye)
The investigation of some reduction products of lignin which was carried on
during the preceding session, has been continued. Attempts have been made to

54 University of Toronto

obtain crystalline derivatives by oxidation, treatment with halogens, etc., but
only minute amounts have been secured. Useful indications as to future
methods of attack have been noted, and further work is contemplated,
(with G. F. Rishor)
The beta-naphthylamine compounds of the lignosulphonic acids from spruce
have been carefully studied. Confusion as to the composition of these com-
pounds is evident in the literature, and conclusions in regard to the constitution
of the lignosulphonic acids are therefore doubtful. The conditions under which
definite compounds are formed have been determined.

Under the direction of Professor M. C. Boswell

(with A. H. Boultbee)
A method has been worked out and used for the determination of the
composition of the film formed on metallic magnesium when immersed in water
solutions of potassium chloride. The factor which determines the extent of this
action has been found and the rates of action of certain concentrations of salt
measured.

A study is in progress of the properties of hydrated nickel sulphide, parti-
cularly with respect to the adsorption of hydrogen sulphide under various
conditions, and the quantitative study of the action of hydrogen on these hydrogen
sulphide adsorption complexes.

(with H. L. Sandford)
The study of the properties of hydrated ferrous sulphide has been continued.
This has thrown important light on the nature of the complexes formed when
ferrous sulphide is transformed into a catalyst for the reduction of sulphur dioxide
to elementary sulphur, and on the nature of the reactions which occur on the
catalyst in that reduction process.

(with R. K. Her)
The continued study of the properties of hydrated nickel oxide of various
water content and of the products formed by the partial reduction of these by
hydrogen has furnished new information on the nature of the complexes which
function in the catalysis of hydrogenation.

(with R. W. Jenner)
A new method for making the catalyst for the reduction of sulphur dioxide
to elementary sulphur has been found.

(with H. L. Hinchcliffe)
Conditions have been found under which methane can be chlorinated to form
chloroform with a yield of 70% and also for the production of methylene chloride
with a yield of 75%. This along with the work of R. R. McLaughlin already
reported on makes it possible to obtain a high yield of any one of the four
chlorination products of methane by direct chlorination.

Under the direction of Professor E. G. R. Ardagh
(with F. C. Rutherford)
The determination of the optimum conditions for the formation of the
hydrazones of acetophenone and benzophenone has been completed and the results
published in the journal of the American Chemical Society. Work of a similar
nature in the field of the sugars is at present under way.

Under the direction of Professor E. A. Smith

(with G. V. Jansen)
A study has been made of the factors effecting the weighting of silk with
stannic chloride. A suitable weighting apparatus that gives uniform results has
been designed. The rate of absorption of stannic chloride by silk varies greatly
with the initial moisture content of the silk. It is hoped to continue this research
next session.

An investigation was carried out on the behaviour of Ontario lignite and
peat on heating and upon constitution of Ontario lignite.
(with W. H. de Montmorency)

A study of the thermal stability of Ontario lignite is in progress. Lignite
from Northern Ontario is being treated along the line of what is essentially low
temperature carbonisation. The products of heat treatment in the absence of
oxygen at temperatures ranging from 100° C. to 600° C. are being quantitatively
studied.

Frequency control — A new and much more easily applied system of control
has been developed, more flexible in application to the various requirements of
generating systems. There is a prospect of application to an existing system."

A special application of our regulator is now in service in the Wind Tunnel
of the National Research Council, Ottawa, Ontario. It is arranged for automatic
starting and regulation to constancy of any desired wind velocity in the throat
of the tunnel.

Standard electric clock — In so far as facilities have permitted, investigation
has been continued of elastic hysteresis in steel suspensions and hydraulic losses
in gases in which the pendulum must swing. The measurements from which
we hope to establish a method of predicting these losses are approaching con-
clusion.

Under the direction of Professor V. G. Smith

A paper is completed on "Fundamentals concerning power factor and reactive
volt-amperes." This mathematical investigation is intended to help toward a
basis for removing certain contradictions in definitions now in vogue, affecting
charges for electrical energy and related matters.

Mr. R. J. Brown

A much improved and quick method has been devised for calculating the
constants of "attenuators" or "pads" employed in telephone and other circuits
to match properly various circuit elements, and to make possible high-quality
transmission of speech and music.

(14) REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF UNIVERSITY EXTENSION AND

PUBLICITY

(W. J. Dunlop, Esq., B.A., B.Paed.)

It might have been expected that the numbers availing themselves of
extension service this session would have shown a marked decrease because of
prevailing conditions. However, the contrary is the case and the total number
of adult persons who took continuous courses and classes in this department
during the academic year now closed is higher by 63 than it was last year, that is,
the total enrolment is 5159 of whom 2759 were men and 2303 women.

The usual extension services were carried on this year with one or two
additions.

The number of teachers proceeding to the degree of Bachelor of Arts while
going on with their classroom duties was larger this year than last by approx-
imately 100. The Teachers' Course is one of the most substantial pieces of work
that can well be done for the teachers of this province. It is gratifying to see
that a large percentage of those who graduate by means of the Teachers' Course
go on and take post-graduate work.

The number of Extension Lectures given this year was 220. These were
distributed as follows:

Alliston 1, Barrie 4, Belleville 3, Bolton 3, Bowmanville 5, Brantford 2,
Brockville 1, Chatham 1, Cobourg 6, Fergus 2, Gait 1, Guelph 3, Hamilton 13,

The Summer Session continues to grow each year. There are three types of
teachers who take advantage of it (a) those who are proceeding to the degree of
bachelor of arts (b) those who are taking courses in pedagogy and (c) those who
are taking instruction in honour subjects in order that they may become Special-
ists. All teachers who live close enough to the University to take advantage
of the Teachers' Classes which are held in the evenings and on Saturdays prefer
this plan to the Summer Session.

This session 47 Evening Classes were conducted with an enrolment of over
2200. These classes offer a wonderful opportunity to the general public to
obtain education for its own sake without examination, certificate, or diploma
and it is remarkable how popular these classes continue to be. Students enrolled
in outside organisations, such as the Canadian Credit Institute, the Chartered
Institute of Secretaries, the Association of Accountants and Auditors, the
General Accountants Association, and the Canadian Society of Cost Accountants,
find these classes very helpful to them in preparing for the examinations set by
their own organisations. The largest Evening Class was that in English Fiction
which had an enrolment of over 160 with almost a complete attendance every
evening throughout the session.

The Workers' Educational Association developed greatly during the session.
31 classes were held in Belleville, Brantford, Brockville, Gait, Hamilton, Kingston,
Kitchener, London, Peterborough, St. Catharines, Stratford, Toronto, Windsor,
and Woodstock with a total enrolment of 1088. This is a large increase over
last year. An interesting innovation in this work was the supplying of a lecturer
who went to the Labour Temple in Toronto each Saturday morning and delivered
a lecture on economics to a group of more than 150 unemployed men. These
Saturday lectures were always followed by an animated discussion and the
unemployed who attended were able to add greatly to their store of knowledge.

The courses in Occupational Therapy and in Physiotherapy were carried
on as in previous years but it has been decided that no instruction of the first year
will be offered in these courses next year because it was thought that the numbers
applying might not be large in the first year with the higher entrance require-
ments. The course in Teaching and Administration for Graduate Nurses had
its full quota of students, nearly all of whom were successful in the examinations.

During the Summer Session a course was given for Institutional Workers
who are interested in Child Welfare. Courses for Visiting Housekeepers and for
Public Health Nurses were also held.

An innovation this year was the establishment of two Farmers'* Classes.
Two groups of farmers, one in the neighbourhood of Aurora and the other in the
neighbourhood of Sharon, asked that they might have classes in economics on
the same terms as members of the Workers' Educational Association. To this
the Board of Governors agreed and more than 100 farmers attended faithfully
and learned a good deal that was new to them.

This has been the greatest year in the history of the department of university
extension, both in the number enrolled and in the variety of services rendered.
Great care is taken to see that nothing is attempted that does not properly come
within the university's sphere and that no instruction is offered which overlaps
in any way instruction available in other public institutions.

A somewhat nqvel experiment was the use of the radio this session. A strong
committee, under the chairmanship of Provost F. H. Cosgrave of Trinity College,
was appointed by the Senate and this committee drew up a list of 40 lectures
arranged in series. Hart House Theatre fitted up an excellent radio studio and
the work of broadcasting commenced in January. This was made possible
through the kindness of Station C.F.R.B., whose studio manager, Mr. Charles
Shearer, offered the facilities of the station free of charge. The response to these
lectures were gratifying; it exceeded the expectations of all concerned. More

President's Report 77

than 1000 letters were received from all parts of Ontario and from several other
provinces as well as from parts of the United States. The writers of many of
these letters stated very emphatically that the services rendered by the University
of Toronto in this way constituted the best material they had heard over the
radio. It is hoped that it will be possible to continue the broadcasting of lectures
next session.

Pamphlets and bulletins have been printed as usual and distributed widely.
No phase of university publicity has been neglected and, when the amount of
notice the University of Toronto receives everywhere to-day is compared with
the space given to it a few years ago in newspapers and periodicals, the improve-
ment is very noticeable. Not only does the university's name and work appear
daily in the newspapers throughout the Dominion and weekly and monthly in
other periodicals, but Sound Motion Pictures of its more spectacular activities
are shown to the public in theatres over the whole continent.

(15) REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF

SOCIAL SCIENCE

{Professor E. J. Urwick)

Two years ago the students proceeding to the diploma in Social Science
numbered 37. This year they have numbered 95. The increase is due in part
to the peculiar circumstances of to-day. Opportunities for employment have
shrunk generally. But social work has continued to expand, and the expansion
has of course brought an increased demand for efficient workers. It is natural,
therefore, that the attention of young people, and especially of those who have
just graduated from a university, should have been turned to the opportunities
offered in this field; and this natural tendency was re-inforced, particularly in
1930 and 1931, by the urgent pleas of many representatives of social agencies that
our University should make special efforts to extend the facilities for the training
of promising students to the greatest extent possible. The result has been, not
only a remarkable increase of numbers, but an equally marked increase of vitality
in the work of the department, due in great measure to the quality of the students
themselves, more than a third of whom are now university graduates.

The experience of the past year, however, has indicated that the department's
growth may have been too rapid. On the one hand, the undoubted need for
more trained workers has not yet become an effective demand: public and
private agencies alike need the additional workers, but cannot for the moment
pay for them. On the other hand, the staff and equipment of the department
itself have not been enlarged to meet the larger number of students: it has not
been easy to give to the students the attention and guidance which they require
when entering a new and very wide field of study. For these reasons the Senate
has approved a recommendation to limit the total number of students to 80
during the coming year.

In spite of the difficulties referred to, the work of the students in the depart-
ment has reached a standard higher perhaps than in any previous year. They
have shown quite remarkable initiation in the organisation of their own studies,
aided by a spirit of co-operation which has enabled all to gain by the researches
of each. And, despite the ever-growing claims of their duties, the leading
workers in the field of social welfare have given greater help than ever in con-
nection with the practical training of the students.

(16) REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING

(Miss E. K. Russell)

During the past year there has been continued discussion of the plans for
the re-organisation of the work of this department, and, just at the close of the

78 University of Toronto

year, these plans appear to have arrived at a satisfactory stage for immediate
development. It has always seemed to us that it is the special responsibility
of this department to make careful study or research into the whole matter of
the education and training of the public health nurse but we have been handi-
capped so far in our efforts because of the limitations which have been set upon
our work. This professional training of the public health nurse has been divided
into two distinct parts, obtainable only by attendance in two distinct schools.
In the new school which we now propose to organise, we shall be, for the first
time, in a position to control the full professional training of our students.

This year's work has been unusually interesting owing to the publication
of a much needed document. I refer to the Report of a Survey of Nursing Educa-
tion in Canada. This survey was undertaken as a joint enterprise of the Canadian
Medical Association and the Canadian Nurses' Association and the survey was
made, and the report written, by Mr. G. M. Weir, professor of education at the
University of British Columbia. The report contains an amazing amount of
reliable and valuable information. All of this is of very direct importance to
every nursing school in Canada, including, necessarily, this department (or
school) of ours. The two members of our small teaching staff have been fully
engaged in the matter of this survey for some two years past and Miss Emory,
as President of the Canadian Nurses' Association, had the pleasure of presenting
the re7port to the members of the association at their biennial meeting held in
St. John, June 20th to 25th. There has been widespread dissatisfaction con-
cerning the present condition and circumstances of nursing schools and the
Survey Report furnishes the necessary evidence to encourage a general move-
ment toward change. It is most opportune that our own special plans for
experimental work in the training of the public health nurse should be put forth
just at the present moment; it is probable that much more sympathy and under-
standing will be accorded our work than would have been possible even a short
year ago.

During the past year 44 students have been enrolled with us, working toward
either the certificate or the diploma of the department. In addition some 200
occasional students have been working under our direction. Again, as in 1930-31,
the director of this department has given oversight to the course for Hospital
Staff Nurses, working for this purpose with the director of the department of
university extension. The 20 students enrolled in this course were registered
in the extension department. It is most encouraging to report that, in all
courses, we have been able to enrol students with a higher educational standing
than in any of the past years.

During the year we have received and planned work for visiting nurses from
several countries including Austria, Italy, Syria, Scotland, France, Switzerland,
China and the United States.

In May a brief refresher course was given at the request of, and with the co-
operation of, the Ontario Department of Health. For this course a group of 67
students assembled from the various parts of the Province.

have been accepted for Air Force training nor have any commissions been
offered in the Permanent Active Militia.

This year they initiated at the Banting Institute special re-examinations of
those students having positive sugar tests, thus making the diagnosis of diabetes
more definite, with consequent advantages to the student.

Illness during the year. — We have had, apart from the very widespread
epidemic of the "Flu", which was of a comparatively mild type, an exceptionally
healthful year. We have had fewer cases of infectious diseases amongst the
students than usual. The following are causes of absence from physical training,
for varying periods of from one day to a whole term.

spinal curvature.

(18) REPORT OF MEDICAL ADVISER OF WOMEN

{Dr. Edith Gordon)
II.

The convenient quarters at 44 Hoskin Ave. have made the Medical Office
a centre for the women of all colleges, faculties and departments. The rooms,
while small, are most suitable for the work being done, and offer increased
facilities over any previous location of the office. The office and examining room
are continually rilled with students, and the two rest rooms, each with three
cots, have been used a great deal. A small room which had been used previously
as a dressing room for the students of the corrective classes, was turned over to
the department of anatomy for antropometric studies. It is to be hoped that
this work may be continued next year, as it should provide very interesting
data of a normal group. Even the attic of the house was used. One room in it
was fitted up as a small lecture room for the students of the Diploma in Physical
Education course, and another was used for a dressing room.

Physical Examinations . — Physical examinations of the entering students in
University College, the faculties of medicine, household science, applied science
and dentistry is required. In addition, many of the students from the other
colleges and faculties avail themselves of the opportunity for a physical examina-
tion. All students participating in games must present a certificate of physical
fitness before playing, and that regulation brings in another large group for
examination. The women of the Ontario College of Education who are engaging
in the physical training option come in for physical examinations, as do many
from the other options.

Re-examinations are requested from time to time of the students who have
been exempted from the physical training requirement, and of others that it
seems desirable to watch carefully. The general physical condition of the
students is excellent, and where exemption from physical training is given, it is
usually for a temporary rather than a permanent disability. Such students have
been required to observe rest periods as a substitute for the work in the gymna-
sium.

President's Report 81

1 1 is greatly to be regretted that the accommodation for the students needing
corrective and remedial exercises is so limited, and that larger numbers cannot
be taken care of. Increased facilities for physical training and athletic activities
o\ all kinds is the crying need for the university women.

Consultations. — Large numbers of women from all faculties, colleges and
departments come into the medical office to consult with the medical adviser
regarding health problems of all kinds. Emergency treatments are given, and
minor ailments cared for. The students, however, are advised to seek treatment
elsewhere when the condition is seen to be of more than the simplest character.
The aim of the medical adviser is not to provide treatment for conditions that
have developed, but rather to help the students avoid illness through a hygienic
way of living.

Vaccinations are performed when requested. A few Shick and Dick and
Tuberculin tests are made, and occasional toxoid, scarlet fever antitoxin, and
antityphoid vaccine administered.

Lectures. — Three health talks to the entering students were given early
in the fall. These were based on the needs of the women as revealed through
the physical examinations.

Four lectures in personal hygiene were given to the students in the course
in public health nursing.

In the four year course leading to a diploma in physical education, 25 lectures
in personal hygiene and first aid and emergencies were given to the students
of the first year; 15 lectures in first aid and emergencies, following the St. John
Ambulance course, were given to the second year; and 20 lectures in general
hygiene were given to the third year.

Infirmary accommodation in the University College Women's Union has
been increased by three beds, making accommodation for eight students. The
value of this infirmary was more than recognised during the epidemic of influenzal
colds in February and March, but still more students might have been cared for,
had there been more room. There was more illness, and of a severer character
among the women students this year than for some time. There were several
who were unable to return to college, and many who were handicapped in the
preparation for and the writing of their examinations.

The work of the medical adviser offers few spectacular moments, but
continues day by day and week by week attempting to meet the physical needs
of the women of the University. There are gratifying occasions when the

6

82 University of Toronto

individual student demonstrates unmistakeably the value of following a suggested
hygienic program. There are many days when the routine work fills every
minute and one wonders at closing time just how much of a constructive character
has been accomplished. There is the moment that comes once or twice in the
year when a sense of failure settles down upon one in realising that a mistake
has been made either in method or in diagnosis. There are some women in the
University who seem oblivious to the benefits that might accrue to them through
the medical office. There are others who come to the medical adviser as a last
resort, rather than applying for assistance when symptoms first appear. There
are still a few who consider the work of the medical office as of no present or
future value to them personally. The attitude of the students as a whole,
however, is of appreciation that the University has provided for them the means
whereby they may consult regarding health problems, and find guidance in
matters affecting their physical well-being. These students come yearly for a
physical examination. They endeavor to follow the program for daily living
outlined for them. If untoward symptoms appear during the term, they report
promptly for diagnosis. If they have been ill they notify the medical adviser,
and report to her upon their return to college, so that she may advise as to whether
they can return to physical training classes, or again participate in sports. The
ten years since the office was established, has more than justified its existence,
both to the University and to the students. With the present equipment and
staff it is impossible to plan for any increase in the extent or character of the
work. It is hoped, however, that the day is not very far distant when all the
women of the university will be required to undergo a physical examination
upon entrance; that physical training and sports will be available for all able to
undertake them; and that corrective and remedial work will be provided for,
and required of all those who could benefit by it.

President's Report 83

General Physical Training. — Under this heading are included all activities
under the supervision of Mr. Donald M. Barton, chief instructor, and his assist-
ants Mr. J. E. McCutcheon, Mr. W. H. Martin and Mr. W. W. Winterburn.
The report of the instructors indicates a very busy and successful year in the
various departments.

The compulsory Physical Training dealt with in the preceding paragraph
required 48 weekly periods with a total of 1103 classes. Special corrective work
was provided for the 226 men found deficient upon medical examination — 22
periods a week amounting in all to 453 classes. For the various branches of
athletics, including men of all years, the following were enrolled for all or a
portion of the session:

Special mention must be made of the work carried on in connection with
the Royal Life Saving Society. Altogether 252 awards were made to University
of Toronto students by that Society and among the first year men 145 were
taught to swim.

Intercollegiate Athletics. — Competition in the various Intercollegiate series
resulted in a good record for the University of Toronto teams. The champion-
ships won were as follows: Soccer, Intermediate Tennis, Golf, Rowing, Senior
Hockey, Intermediate Hockey (Western Division) and Water Polo. The Rugby
Team of the University of Western Ontario won the Yates Cup emblematic of
Senior Intercollegiate Rugby for the first time in history and special tribute must
be paid to the junior members of the Union in thus outdistancing its older
competitors. Similarly, the University of Montreal won their first Intercollegiate
championship, the Senior Tennis. Queen's University for the first time in many
years won the "Tom Gibson Cup" for Senior Boxing, Wrestling and Fencing.
Their success in this department speaks well for the development of the manly
arts of boxing and wrestling in university circles producing as it does a very high
standard of sportsmanship. McGill University won the Junior Rugby, the
Senior Track, English Rugby, Senior Basketball, Swimming and Diving and the
Gymnastic competition. In the Harrier competition for cross country running
McGill and Toronto tied in the final score. Teams were also placed in the
Ontario Rugby Union and the Ontario Hockey Association. The Senior Hockey
Team made its annual visit to the States to play with Harvard, Yale and Prince-
ton. The Senior Wrestlers travelled to the University of Michigan and Michigan
State College and the Boxers visited Harvard. All of these visits across the line
have done much for the University of Toronto and the creation of a fine inter-
national fraternal spirit.

Interfaculty Athletics. — Competition in intramural sports as usual played an
important part in university athletics there being 1779 men turning out on the
various college and faculty teams to compete for the many handsome trophies
which have been donated by Alumni and friends of the University.

(18) REPORT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN STUDENTS

(/. G. Coventry, Director of Physical Education)
IV.

During the session 1931-32 there were 223 women students enrolled in the
physical education classes and approximately 836 class periods of instruction
given by the physical director and her assistant.

The required physical training class with an enrolment of 194 students was
subdivided into 15 class periods a week. All the students who attended regularly
the two class periods a week during the year tried the final examinations in
general gymnastics and corrective exercises. A written report of the results
of these examinations was sent to the registrar. It is satisfying to state that a
very small percentage failed to obtain the required standing.

Corrective and Remedial Classes. — Additional class periods of corrective and
remedial gymnastics were given to a number of students who were medically
advised to take this special course. This required four extra class periods a week
under personal supervision. This essential part of physical training was con-
ducted in a small room with necessary equipment at 44 Hoskin Ave. Marked
improvement in physical disabilities was noted and reported at the end of the
session.

Diploma in Physical Education (four year course). — There were 25 students
registered in the four year course in physical education. These students attended
regularly the six required periods of practice and theory throughout the session.

President's Report 85

An interesting and gratifying feature in connection with the course is the
fact that the women graduates who have been granted diplomas in physical
education are in constant demand as full time physical directors in Collegiates,
Technical and High schools in Toronto and other cities of Ontario.

The first year registration was small this year in the new course as outlined
in the curriculum, but the prospects for this course are most encouraging.

(19) REPORT OF THE WARDEN OF HART HOUSE

(J. B. Bickersteth, Esq., M.C., M.A.)

General.— There is no question that as far as the administration of Hart
House is concerned the past year has been a difficult one. The financial strin-
gency in which many of the undergraduates and senior members have found
themselves has resulted in reduced revenue from every department. It was to
be expected that the number of meals in the Great Hall would fall off somewhat
and this has been the case. Except, however, in this one department the use
of the building has been as great as ever and all the varied activities of Hart
House, such as music, art, debating, the theatre, athletics, faculty and college
functions and the wrork of the Student Christian Association, have shown no
lack of vitality but rather every sign of development. Under the circumstances
it is satisfactory to be able to report that there has been only a small decrease
in the senior membership. The total membership of Hart House during the
academic year 1931-1932 has been four thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven
made up as follows: three thousand nine hundred and ninety-six undergraduates
and nine hundred and thirty-one senior members.

An important structural change in the building was carried out during the
summer of 1931. A large rehearsal room and additional dressing-rooms for the
theatre were made possible by extensive excavations two storeys under the
Great Hall and the wardrobe was transferred to quarters made available by the
same method. A broadcasting room adjoining the rehearsal room was also
created thus making possible the first series of lectures delivered over the air
under the auspices of the University. These excavations have resulted in further
accommodation for Hart House in general, the old wardrobe having been made
into. a cloak-room, the former cloak-room providing extra accommodation near
the shop for undergraduates. During the summer of 1932 further excavations
will afford enlarged quarters for the camera rooms which have become totally
inadequate for the increasing number of members who are interested in photo-
graphic work. All these structural additions have been made possible by generous

86 University of Toronto

grants from the Massey Foundation to the trustees of which Hart House expresses
its sincere thanks.

The usual social functions have been held in Hart House during the past
winter though some of them have not been so largely attended as in the past
owing to the necessity for economy on the part of members. The American
Psychological Association held a conference at the University in September and
the delegates made use of the Great Hall for their meals.

The annual elections for Hart House committees were held in March and
the interest taken in them by undergraduates was shown by the great increase
in the number of candidates. As many as one hundred and thirty-seven under-
graduates stood for election to the nine standing and special committees.

Music. — The Sunday Evening Concert held on 13th March was the eightieth
in the series and concluded the first ten years of what has proved to be one of the
most popular musical events in the life of the University. When the first two
or three concerts were arranged in the fall of 1922 there was considerable doubt
as to whether the experiment would be welcomed and, if welcomed, whether it
could be continued. From the first, however, the concerts have filled the Great
Hall and since that time have had an uninterrupted life. That this has been so
is owing to the unfailing sympathy and practical co-operation of the musicians
of Toronto to whom Hart House and the University are greatly indebted. They
have willingly given their services without remuneration realising that by so
doing they are encouraging the appreciation of good music in the University.
In this connection Hart House owes much gratitude to Mr. Campbell Mclnnes
who not only was most helpful in his suggestions when these concerts were first
planned but made it possible to inaugurate the series by his willingness to be
responsible himself for several of the concerts if any difficulty was experienced
in securing the services of artists.

Week by week the Friday recitals at 5 p.m. have attracted to the music
room a group of music-lovers, one of the outstanding recitals being that given
by the Conservatory String Quartet who played a programme of seventeenth and
eighteenth century music using the magnificent consort of viols of which, owing
to the generosity of the Massey Foundation, Hart House is a joint owner with
certain members of the Arts and Letters Club.

The songsters under Mr. Campbell Mclnnes have been more enthusiastically
attended than ever. Hart House is building up a really valuable collection of
slides and song books and the songsters are beginning to exercise a far-reaching
influence not only in Toronto but farther afield as is proved by the numerous
occasions when social and religious organisations have applied for the use of the
slides and have requested Mr. Mclnnes to conduct songsters for them on the
Hart House plan.

The Friday midday sing songs conducted by Mr. Ross Workman are making
the best type of songs known to an increasingly large number of undergraduates.

Art. — For some years past the small room adjoining the sketch room has
been used for exhibiting reproductions of the works of Old Masters and the
experiment has proved so successful that last summer this room was fitted up
as a proper gallery and was renamed the print room. Exhibitions have been
held there illustrating early and late Flemish and early German art and there
was also a series showing the development of landscape painting. The fortnightly
exhibitions in the sketch room have included among others the annual photo-
graphic exhibition arranged by the Camera Committee of Hart House, the annual
exhibition of work by members of Hart House and a number of "one-man" shows
by Toronto artists. A particularly interesting exhibition of English, Chinese
and Russian posters took place in the spring. The weekly art classes directed
by Mr. H. S. Palmer proved so popular that an assistant instructor had to be
engaged. On four Wednesday afternoons before Christmas a group of under-
graduates met Mr. Arthur Lismer in the sketch room to discuss the appreciation
of pictures and the success of this experiment as evidenced by an average attend-

President's Report 87

ance of thirty men led the Sketch Committee to arrange a further series in the
New Year. Hart House owes Mr. Lismer sincere thanks for his invaluable
assistance in this respect. The proceeds of the Masquerade and the contributions
of the Graduating Year were again used to make additions to the collection of
Canadian pictures gradually being formed by Hart House. A valuable series of
reproductions of Rembrandt drawings was purchased early this year with money
available from the Murray and Harold Wrong Memorial Fund.

Debates. — The hrst debate in the fall was concerned with the economic
condition of Canada and attracted about four hundred and fifty men to the
debates room. At the second debate a resolution dealing with Russia was hotly
debated five hundred men being crammed into the debates room and many
being turned away. The January debate was honoured by the presence of the
Prime Minister of Ontario who remained throughout the evening and spoke to a
resolution dealing with the maintenance of peace. The Principal of Queen's
University, Dr. \Y. Hamilton Fyfe, spoke at the debate in February which was
on university education. Other hon. visitors on this occasion were under-
graduates from McGill, Queen's and Rochester. Never has the interest in
Hart House debates been more marked than was the case this winter, and there
is ample proof that debating as it has developed in Hart House during the last
eight years has done and is doing much to encourage a genuine interest among
the undergraduate body in public affairs. Mr. J. L. Stewart (IV Trinity) acted
as Speaker at the debates and the tradition of an undergraduate acting in this
capacity may now be considered established.

Student Christian Association. — The religious life of Hart House has devel-
oped under the able guidance of the Rev. L. A. Dixon who took over his new
duties at the beginning of the academic year. There were two series of addresses
one in November and the other in February. The subject in November was
"The Christian approach to our present social disorder" : the subject in February
was "The place of authority in religion". These addresses given by professors
and prominent clergy were held in the music room and attracted a large attend-
ance of students. Prayers were conducted at midday in Hart House Chapel
during the greater part of the year and a course of addresses were given in Advent
and Lent. The Holy Communion was celebrated on the third Sunday in each
month when the Chapel was well filled. There were fourteen study groups in
which two hundred and fifty men were enrolled, those for undergraduates in
University College, the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Applied Science and
Engineering and the Faculty of Dentistry being held in Hart House. The S.C.A.
library in Hart House was extensively used and at the beginning of term a book
exchange was operated for the benefit of undergraduates the turn-over in books
sold being greater than ever before.

Theatre. — Hart House theatre controlled by the Syndics has had a very
active year under the Director, Mr. Edgar Stone. The following plays have been
produced in the regular Hart House series: "Liliom" (October), "The Bright
Island" (November), "Brer Rabbit" (December), "The Barber of Seville"
(January), "Faust" (February) and "Pompey the Great" (March). The various
college and faculty dramatic societies also made use of the theatre "Much Ado
about Nothing" being played in modern dress by the Trinity College Dramatic
Society and "Patience" by the Victoria College Music Club. As well as these
the annual Faculty of Dentistry play, the annual review of the Faculty of
Medicine and many other plays by various societies and organisations were
produced. In addition five programmes were given in the theatre by the Hart
House String Quartet and five plays by the Hart House Children's Players under
the auspices of the Toronto Kindergarten Teachers' Association.

Administrative Staff. — The end of this year has brought several changes in
the staff. Mr. J. R. Johnston has decided to spend some time as a student at
the London School of Economics. During the three years he has been on the
administrative staff, first as assistant secretarv and then as secretarv of Hart

88 University of Toronto

House, he has served all members of Hart House with enthusiasm and devotion
and has given special attention to the interests of senior members of Hart House
by whom he will be greatly missed. Mr. C. R. Delafield, who has been appointed
to succeed Mr. Johnston as secretary, is a University College man having taken
his degree in 1930. He takes over his new post in the middle of July.

Mr. E. D. Fennell has decided to enter the teaching profession and goes to
the Ontario College of Education in the fall. As assistant secretary of Hart
House for the past two years he has done valuable work and his departure is
greatly regretted. Mr. D. L. Emond, who has been on the staff of Hart House
for over five years, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Fennell.

The Superintendent of the Great Hall, Mr. A. Gunn, having decided to go
into business for himself, resigned his position in Hart House at the end of the
year. Mr. Gunn has been on the staff of Hart House for five and a half years
and for the past three years has been in charge of the Great Hall, the dining-
rooms and the kitchen department. Throughout this period he has done
excellent work and as superintendent has filled a difficult position with great
ability. Mr. J. A. Bartholomew has been appointed as superintendent in his
place.

Visitors. — On 11th February Their Excellencies the Governor-General and
the Countess of Bessborough paid an official visit to Hart House, made a tour
of the building and met the members of the Board of Stewards. On 2nd April
the Governor-General was present at the performance of "Pompey the Great"
in Hart House theatre. Besides these two visits Lord Bessborough has visited
Hart House informally on several occasions. Among other visitors to the House
during the year were Dr. Toyohiko Kagawa (Japan), Mr. Rallia Ram (India),
Dr. T. Z. Koo (China), the Rev. Stacy Waddy, Professor L. P. Jacks, Sir Francis
Goodenough, Mr. George Pilcher (Royal Empire Society), Herr Ernst Jackh
(Germany), Mr. Bertrand Russell, Lord Ashfield, Mr. Beaudry Leman, Mr.
Yusuf Ali, Professor von der Leyen, Professor H. H. Plaskett, Sir William Craigie,
Dr. J. T. Shotwell, Mr. H. E. Rubie (Anglo-Canadian Education Committee),
Sir Henry Lawrence, Mr. Percy Grainger, Lord Irwin, Mr. Henry Morris,
Mr. M. C. Botha, Dr. R. B. Harshe (Art Institute of Chicago) and Dr. A. C.
Seward. Hardly a day passes without the arrival of visitors who ask to be shown
the building and written requests for information about the life of Hart House
are frequently received.

(20) REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE CONNAUGHT

LABORATORIES

(/. G. FitzGerald, M.D., LL.D.)

This is the eighteenth report of the Director of the Connaught Laboratories
and consists of a survey of some of the major undertakings of the laboratories
for the year ended June 30th, 1932.

In the report of last year reference was made to the plan for the extension
of the hygiene building. These extensions have been achieved first by adding
an addition to the south wing to provide greatly increased quarters for the work
of insulin and liver extract production. Facilities have also been provided in
this new unit for undertakings of a similar character which it may be desirable to
initiate at some future time. This south wing extension consists of three floors
38' x 33' in dimension (frontage of 33' facing College Street). It was completed
during the current year and is now occupied. The new quarters with latest and
most modern equipment have greatly increased the efficiency with which the
work of insulin and liver extract preparation can be carried on. The cost of this
undertaking, including the purchase of apparatus, greatly exceeded the estimate
indicated in the report of last year. Actually, eighty-five thousand dollars has

President's Report 89

been spent for this purpose and this very substantial investment was made
possible by drawing upon the Connaught Laboratories surplus funds. A new
direct entrance to this production section of the Connaught Laboratories from
College Street, by means of a driveway to the east, adds greatly to the convenience
of this portion of the building to and from which there is a very large volume of
motor traffic. Suitable entrance pillars have been designed by Messrs. Mathers
and Haldenby, architects of the hygiene building and of the new botany building.
In this way it has been possible to relate the extended east wing of the hygiene
building and the new green houses of the botany building in an artistic and
satisfactory manner.

Secondly, the north extension which has been in progress of erection since
December L931, will, it is anticipated, be completed and ready for occupancy
toward the end of the present summer. Further reference will be made to this
new development in a subsequent report.

The present year has been exceedingly interesting and most active from the
point of view of investigation. This function, as has been so frequently reiterated
is the first purpose for which the Connaught Laboratories were established.
Additions to the staff, extension in the scope of various research projects, the
completion of undertakings initiated during the past two or three years have
marked the passage of 1931-32. The usual series of publications which it has
been customary in recent years to present to Section V of the Royal Society of
Canada, this year numbered fifteen. As in the past there will be found in the
appendix to this volume a list of scientific communications by members of the
staff of the School of Hygiene and Connaught Laboratories completed during
1931-32.

It is impossible in a brief review of this character to deal at length with
many of the undertakings which have been carried on but brief mention should
be made of the exceedingly interesting contributions of two new members of the
staff of the laboratories, namely, Doctor James Craigie and Doctor C. E. Dolman.
Doctor Craigie has come to this University from the University of St. Andrew's
and has continued the work which he there began on the flocculation reaction
of variola and vaccinia viruses and more recently has substantially extended our
knowledge of the elementary bodies in vaccinia virus. Doctor Dolman's
investigations have had to do with staphylococcus aureus toxin, antitoxin and
toxoid. The director and Doctor D. T. Fraser have continued their studies in
diphtheria immunity. Doctor Fraser has also directed the interesting work
which Doctor E. W. Mader and Miss K. Halpern have continued with strains of
C. diphtheriae isolated from cases and carriers of that disease. Doctor M. H.
Brown and the director, writh the very kind collaboration of Doctor Harold
Hibbert of the department of cellulose chemistry of McGill University, have been
carrying on immunity studies with certain complex carbohydrates provided by
Doctor Hibbert. Doctor Brown and Miss Anderson have extended their
investigations of pneumococci found in the respiratory tract of healthy persons
during the winter months. Doctor Brown and Mr. William Knowles have
elaborated a new method for the concentration of anti-pneumococcic serum.
Doctor Frieda Fraser, Miss Mary Ross and Miss H. C. Plummer have continued
their studies of scarlet fever toxin. Doctor Defries and Doctor McKinnon have
made further contributions in their virus studies. Doctor D. A. Scott and Mr.
Arthur Charles have carried out some very interesting work with crystalline
insulin. Doctor P. J. Moloney with Doctor Edith Taylor and Miss D. Smith
have continued their investigations in the field of immuno-chemistry. Doctor
Moloney has obtained some exceedingly interesting results, in collaboration with
Doctor Taylor, which are to be presented at the colloid symposium later in the
present month. Doctor Best, Doctor McHenry and Miss Gavin have continued
their histaminase work and have added substantially to our knowledge of this
interesting new enzyme. Doctor D. L. MacLean has extended still further his
investigations in physiological hygiene in the very complete investigation of a

90 University of Toronto

group of members of the scientific and administrative staff of the laboratories.
Physical examinations have been supplemented by radiological and serological
examinations and blood chemistry determinations with the ascertainment of
basal metabolic rates for the purpose of defining more exactly, if possible, the
boundaries of normal physiological functioning in such a group of persons. At
the farm section of the Connaught Laboratories Doctor Charles Siebenman, with
the assistance of Mrs. Siebenman, made very interesting additions to our know-
ledge of diphtheria toxin and toxoid and has evolved a novel procedure for the
concentration of this latter substance. Doctor Nelles Silverthorne, occupying
the post of senior research fellow, in association with the director, has completed
a very satisfactory and comprehensive investigation of a group of sporadic cases
of meningococcic meningitis. During the course of these studies facts of interest
from a bacteriological, epidemiological and clinical standpoint were elicited.
Doctor Silverthorne is on leave of absence from the Hospital for Sick Children
and, in addition, under Doctor Donald Fraser's direction, has initiated investiga-
tions of the blood of persons suffering from diphtheria to ascertain the content
both of diphtheria anti-toxin and toxin.

This general outline will serve the purpose of indicating the general scope
and character of the investigations in the field of bacteriology, serology, filtrable
viruses, immuno-chemistry, epidemiology and statistics which have claimed the
attention of members of the staff for the past twelve months.

Reference was made in the last report to the Connaught Laboratories Library
This now consist of 2,500 bound volumes. The library service is constantly
being extended and improved and is of the very greatest possible assistance not
only to those engaged in research in the laboratories but also to members of
many other departments of the University and to graduate and undergraduate
students in medicine, arts, household science, etc.

The very satisfactory co-ordination of scientific and administrative problems
made possible by the effective service of the comptroller and his staff has been
note-worthy during the present year. In the absence of this the very large
volume of work and the great variety of undertakings for which members of the
scientific and administrative staffs have been responsible could not have been
carried on.

The staff of the Connaught Laboratories now consists of 156 persons.
Reference has already been made to Doctor Craigie and to Doctor Dolman
(who came to the Connaught Laboratories from the Institute of Pathology,
St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, London), who have recently been recruited.
There have also been a number of other additions to the ranks of research and
technical assistants. On January first, 1932, Doctor D. T. Fraser and Doctor
C. H. Best were promoted associate directors of the laboratories. On July first
Doctor N. E. McKinnon becomes an assistant director and will assume charge
of the farm section of the laboratories. Mr. M. D. Orr has been given an appoint-
ment as research chemist. All additions to and resignations from and other
changes in the staff have been reported from time to time to the Governors
through the Connaught Laboratories Committee.

The public service work during the year has been in volume slightly greater
even than during last year and establishes a new record. The products distributed
include: — diphtheria antitoxin, tetanus antitoxin, scarlet fever antitoxin, anti-
meningococcic serum, concentrated anti-pneumococcic sera, normal horse serum,
diphtheria toxoid, Schick test outfits, scarlet fever toxin for Dick test, scarlet
fever toxin for active immunisation, smallpox vaccine, typhoid vaccine, typhoid-
paratyphoid vaccine, pertussis vaccine, tuberculin, rabies vaccine, liver extracts
(pernicious anaemia fraction), and Insulin.

It is again possible to report the fact that the laboratories have been able
to prepare a large volume of human convalescent serum for the Department of
Health of Ontario for the treatment of anterior-poliomyelitis. Nearly fifty
monkeys were utilised in the assay of this serum and on this account a much

President's Report 91

more exact knowledge of the neutralising power of the serum was made available
to those responsible for its distribution and its use.

The following is a list of the countries to which products of the Laboratories
have been sent during the year: — Bermuda, British Guiana, British West Indies
(Barbados, Jamaica, St. Kitts, St. Vincent, Trinidad, etc.), Chile, China, Irish
Free State, Japan, Korea, Newfoundland, Roumania, South Africa, Uruguay
and Venezuela. These are, of course, in addition to all provinces of the Dominion
of Canada in which, as in previous years, biological products prepared and
distributed by the Connaught Laboratories have in most instances been employed
exclusively.

We are again happy to have received visitors from many countries. Those
visiting the Connaught Laboratories and School of Hygiene for the year come
from: — Bulgaria, China, England, France, India, Italy, Jugoslavia, Manchuria,
Spain and the United States and from the various Canadian provinces.

Graduates and undergraduates in medicine registered in the D.P.H. course
and in the fifth and sixth years have had opportunities and facilities for observing
the work in the laboratories which is of interest to them as present or future
medical practitioners and public health workers.

It is with keen regret that the Director and staff of the Connaught Labora-
tories realise that the official connection which for eighteen years has existed
between them and the retiring president of the University, Sir Robert Falconer,
terminates at this time. The advice, assistance, encouragement and support
which, upon all occasions, Sir Robert has so generously given has been most
sincerely appreciated and is hereby acknowledged^.

The continued interest and support of the Chairman of the Connaught
Laboratories Committee of the Governors, Colonel A. E. Gooderham, and of his
colleagues on that committee is gratefully acknowledged.

(21) STATEMENT REGARDING THE MUSEUM OF ARCHAEOLOGY

{Professor C. T. Currelly)

Our past year has been unique in the annals of museums. The complete
collection has been packed up, moved, and stored in a few galleries of the new
wing; and this has been done with workmen at large in the building, with clouds
of builders' dust, and generally under conditions I think unknown before. It will
be some years before we shall be quite sure how much risk we have run in this
way, but it looks at present as if by a series of miracles we have escaped serious
damage. The museum was closed on the first of March, but for some time before
that was in a state of considerable turmoil and builders' dust. Naturally the
moving dominated all other work, and our growth was by no means as great as
in other years.

In the department of prehistorics, we received a number of early bronze
objects from Luristan in north-western Persia. These filled in some of the gaps
in our small collection. From the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem
we received a very good collection of flint implements from Mount Carmel.

The Egyptian department, through the kindness of Sir Robert Mond and
the Egypt Exploration Society, received a fine tombstone of the god Apis. The
stele shows the Roman Emperor Augustus as King of Egypt making his tribute
to the god; the inscription is typical of the period. There was also a number of
small objects, all excavated by the officers of the Egypt Exploration Society
during the previous winter.

Professor T. J. Meek obtained for the museum a most interesting collection
of objects from Mesopotamia, the majority dating from approximately 1500 B.C.
These give an excellent idea of the fine craftsmanship of the ceramic workers,
and show that they were well acquainted with glazes and probably with enamels.

Professor Meek obtained a few bronze plates of scale armour, a number of terra-
cotta figures, and a few objects coming down as late as the Arab conquest. This
makes a great advance in our small Babylonian collection. We also obtained by
purchase an interesting low relief of the type found at Nineveh, valuable from
the standpoint of costume and equipment.

The classical department received no accessions of particular importance.

The department of arms and armour obtained two outstanding objects,
for one of which I have been searching for over twenty-five years. This is the
famous Scottish claymore, the great two-handed sword of Henry VIII's time,
a weapon commonly talked about but rarely seen, as very few are in existence
and the majority of people confound it with the claybeg or broadsword in use
in the 17th and 18th centuries. Our claymore belongs to the early 16th century
and is in remarkable condition, even having its original leather grip and traces
of inlay in gold. The other object is an early 15th century basilard, a weapon
carried by those not entitled to carry a sword, longer and more efficient than a
dagger. The following song of Henry V's time,

There is no man worth a leke
Be he sturdy, be he meke
But he bere a baselard,

shows that this weapon was common in mediaeval times, but very few are now
in existence and the museum is fortunate in obtaining the one illustrated as
typical in Sir Guy Laking's standard publication on arms and armour.

Mr. J. S. Smith of St. Catharines continued adding to his collection of
watches, and the museum suffered a severe loss in his death.

The Chinese collection obtained a long and important series from a great
tomb that appears to be royal and of about 400 B.C., the discovery of which
constitutes one of the major archaeological finds in China during recent years.
The drawing is particularly fine and bold, the work of master artists. We have
now obtained so much from this tomb that it will require a gallery to itself.
Through Mrs. H. D. Warren we received three exquisite Sung bowls. Another
acquisition of extreme importance in the history of work is a well-constructed
bronze helmet found with weapons inscribed with the name of the brother of the
first Chou emperor, 1053 B.C. This is therefore the earliest metal helmet known,
and may show that China already exercised a strong influence over Europe at
that time, for the Greek helmet shows no evolution and seems to have arrived
in Greece fully developed. Weapons, jades, primitive potteries make up the
remainder of the enormous increase to our Chinese collection this year.

Our English collection made a marked advance through the gift by Mrs.
W. H. Lytle of fifty-three delft chargers from the collection of her mother, the
late Mrs. A. R. Clarke. I was told in England that there were no finer examples
of these 17th and early 18th century plates than those in the possession of Mrs.
Clarke, and these fifty-three give us a practically perfect idea of the development
of this industry, which was to change the fortunes of England. Nothing ever
happened in England comparable in importance to the development of the
English potteries, and the Province is very fortunate in having received a col-
lection illustrating so fully the different steps in the early phase of this great
industry.

Two Mosu books from further China were added to the department of
printing and the book, and the collection of postage stamps also grew steadily.

The textile collection received some twenty examples of Peruvian textiles
of the 7th and 8th centuries A.D., very beautiful in colour and design. Two
exquisite pieces of lace were received as a bequest from the late Mrs. Robert D.
Mcintosh. Colonel J. L. Melville presented us with a fine 18th century velvet
suit, and a very good example of Stuart stump work was acquired.

The most dramatic additions to the ethnographical collection were one of the
early whalebone clubs of the British Columbia Indians, which link them so

President's Report 93

peculiarly with the New Zealand peoples, and the Park Lawn Cemetery Com-
pany's gift of a human shoulder bone in which a flint spearhead wras still sticking.
The steady increase in our Ontario collection has been most gratifying, and when
it is possible to place our American material properly on view, we shall have
reason to be very well pleased indeed with the growth that has been made.

The routine work of the museum went on as well as was possible under the
conditions of moving, which entailed an unusual amount of labour in the way
of casing, mounting and care of the objects, and which kept the whole staff very
constantly on the qui vive. Approximately 10,200 objects were entered in the
accession catalogue and approximately 1,300 drawings were made for the final
catalogue.

Miss Home continued her classes and lectures till the museum closed on the
first of March. Miss Payne successfully handled her classes in the museum till
the same date, after which she gave her lectures in the schools, using lantern
slides of the objects; though not entirely satisfactory, this was the only substitute
feasible.

(22) STATEMENT REGARDING THE BIOLOGICAL MUSEUM AND
ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY

{Professor B. A. Bensley)

Activity during the year was chiefly concentrated upon re-distribution of
the collections as between the two museums. Both the exhibition cases of the
south portion of the biological museum and practically all material of a general
taxonomic nature, including former exhibits, were put in readiness for transfer
to the museum of zoology. Similarly in the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology
preparation was made for the transfer of all gallery, workroom and office fixtures,
as well as exhibition and reserve collections to the new quarters in the East Wing
of the building. On account of the crowded condition of the old gallery few
exhibits were added during the year, though the work of preparation, as well as
other activities, library, catalogue, field work and investigation proceeded as
usual.

Some of the more important donations during the year were as follows :
Wallace Havelock Robb, R. R. 1, Kingston — 11 Allan Brooks paintings;

Lincoln's sparrow; bittern; ferret; 2 salamanders.
Sam Waller, Gypsumville, Man. — 208 birds; 3 amphibians and reptiles;
7 mammals; 70 bird stomachs; 6 bird's eggs; 1 nest; 3 bottles stomachs;
10 vials spiders.
Paul Hahn, 8 Bloor St. E., Toronto — 3 passenger pigeons; beaver skull;

2 quail; golden plover; screech owl.
A. P. Holden, 36 Rosedale Rd., Toronto — Reel of motion pictures showing

hummingbird's nest.

staff added 231 mammals, 342 birds, 343 amphibians and reptiles and 132 fish,
as well as considerable collections of spiders, insects and other invertebrates.

(23) STATEMENT REGARDING THE ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM OF

GEOLOGY

{Professor E. S. Moore)

The cases and collections of the Museum of Geology have recently been
transferred from the basement of the west wing of the museum building to the
splendid new galleries on the first floor of the east wing. The transfer has fort-
unately been accomplished with little damage to materials. The galleries are
still in a state of chaos, since a complete reorganisation of exhibits is necessary
under such changed conditions, but it is hoped that the setting up of the exhibits
may be completed during the summer.

The new wing provides some increase in gallery space, greatly improved
lighting, excellent office, laboratory and work room accommodation and adequate
storage facilities for collections. As a result of the greatly improved accommoda-
tion the museum of geology is now in a position to develop on a scale in keeping
with the importance of geology as a science and as an aid to the growing mining
industry of the province and the country as a whole.

One new life member has been added during the past year: Mr. F. W. Gray,
Assistant Manager of the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation, Sydney, N.S.

Important additions to the collections have been received and the director
wishes to express appreciation of the generous support of the many benefactors
of the museum.

Donations — A complete section of a coal seam in one column 7J/£ feet high
from the Glace Bay coal field, Cape Breton, N.S., by the Dominion Steel and
Coal Corporation, Ltd.; three-quarters of a ton of nickel-copper ore from the
Sudbury District, by the International Nickel Company of Canada, Ltd.;

(24) STATEMENT REGARDING THE ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM OF

MINERALOGY

{Director T. L. Walker)

In the Royal Ontario Museum of Mineralogy an unusual development has
marked the year. Thanks to the activities of the assistant director we have
obtained from the mining districts of Ontario a number of fine large masses which,
when dressed and polished, will find a place in the gallery. Considerable quanti-
ties of Canadian specialties have been added with a view to accumulating stocks
of minerals to exchange with foreign institutions. In earlier times museums
expanded largely by addition of material purchased from dealers who bought
and sold, but the number of such dealers has so diminished that I am of the
opinion that it is now necessary to rely on collections made by the museum staff,
part finding its way to the museum collections and the balance used to secure
specimens from other institutions by exchange.

Large specimens received include the following:

1. Graphic granite, Bancroft, Ontario.

2. Beryl rock, Renfrew County.

3. Representative block of the rock in which radium mineral occurs at the
mine in Haliburton County.

4. Frood Mine ore with a complete series of ten metals which they win from
treatment of the ores of the International Nickel Company of Canada.

5. Quartz from Hot Springs, Ark., presented by Andre Dorfman, Esq.
Field work by the assistant director and by Professor Ellis Thomson has

extended to the Cobalt region and to the old mining regions of Eastern Canada.
From May to October the director was in Europe visiting centres of mineralo-
gical interest where he had an opportunity of

(a) Meeting workers in mineralogy and mineralogical museums.

(b) Studying such museums so as to benefit the arrangement and installation
of our collections in our new quarters shortly to be occupied.

96 University of Toronto

(c) Arranging for the exchange of Canadian minerals for specialties from
other institutions.

(d) Visiting numerous dealers in England and on the Continent.
Minerals were purchased from dealers in Reading, London, Langban, Plauen,

Freiberg, Vienna, Munich, Rome, Genoa, Paris, Oberstein, Bonn, Helsingfors and
Konigsberg.

Exchanges were arranged with institutions in London, Copenhagen, Moscow,
Leningrad, Stockholm, Oslo, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Zurich, Paris,
Brussels and Aachen.

As usual some of the material collected in Ontario forms the basis of some
of the research work published during the year.

The museum has been closed to the public since the first of March to permit
the transfer to the new gallery, offices and work rooms in the east wing of the
building extension.

(25) STATEMENT REGARDING THE ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM OF

PALAEONTOLOGY

{Professor W. A. Parks)

During the year 1931-32 there was a normal advance in both the vertebrate
and invertebrate sections of the museum, although the removal to the new
building seriously interfered with the regular work. The expedition of 1931
to the fossil localities of the Red Deer river secured several specimens as listed
below.

During the winter the following work has been done in the laboratory: —
(1) Two fine skulls of trachodont dinosaurs have been prepared and are now ready
for mounting; (2) two skeletons, one with a very fine head, of bird dinosaurs
have been prepared; (3) a specimen of Champs osaur us has been mounted.

Shipments of vertebrate and invertebrate fossils have been made to the
museums at Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and La Plata in exchange for South
American material which we hope to receive in a short time.

The rearrangement of the exhibits in the new galleries is proceeding in a
satisfactory manner; it is hoped that by the 1st of October the galleries may be
in a condition for reopening.

The more important acquisitions during the year are as follows:

By donation

Cast or rib and sternum of Mastodon — American Museum of Natural

History, New York.
Set of lithographic plates of Marsh's type vertebrate fossils — American
